Facts
- Tunisia won many admirers for African football in their first
appearance at a FIFA World Cup™ finals in 1978, beating Mexico and
holding world champions Germany to a draw, before exiting the
tournament after the first round.
- Two decades passed before Tunisia returned to the finals where
they landed in a tough group with England, Colombia and Romania and
not unexpectedly failed to survive the first stage.
- They qualified again for the 2002 tournament but again put up a
disappointing showing, earning a single point from a dour meeting
with Belgium before packing their bags for an early flight home.
