TUNISIA
|
Football is Tunisia's favourite sport. A non-amateur set-up has
been introduced in the top two leagues, while all players in lowers
divisions are amateurs.
The national team has participated in the FIFA World Cup finals (1978, 1998, 2002 and 2006) and the Olympic Football Tournaments (1960, 1988, 1996 and 2004) on four occasions each. The Tunisians also won the African Cup of Nations in 2004. In 1978, Tunisia became the first African team to record a victory at the FIFA World Cup finals, 3-1 against Mexico, under the leadership of legendary coach Abdelmajid Chetali. In 1977, Tarak Dhiab won the African Ballon d'Or as the best player in the continent. Tunisia also hosted the inaugural FIFA World Youth Championship in 1977, organised the African Cup of Nations in 1965, 1994 and 2004. (FIFA.com) ACHIEVEMENTS
