International Spotlight on Tunisian Football Federation
The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) has received international attention. Its president, Moez Nasri, and vice-president Houcine Jenaieh were received by Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, at the headquarters of the global governing body in Zurich.
A Meeting to Celebrate a Historic Qualification
This meeting was an opportunity for Mr. Infantino to warmly congratulate the Eagles of Carthage on their brilliant qualification for the 2026 World Cup. A 1-0 victory against Equatorial Guinea on September 8th allowed the national team to secure their place in the tournament, with two matchdays to spare in the Group H qualifications.
A Historic Qualification and International Recognition
This qualification is the seventh in Tunisia's history and the third consecutive one, a performance that testifies to the solidity and regularity of Tunisian football on the global stage. During the meeting, Gianni Infantino indeed described Tunisia as a "pioneering reference" in international football, promising his total support to the FTF's ongoing efforts to develop the sport in the country. The discussions also focused on future collaboration projects to strengthen Tunisian football at all levels.
A Success Story for Tunisian Football
This success on the field and official recognition from FIFA confirm Tunisia's rise to prominence in the world of football. The next World Cup, which will be held in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, will be a new opportunity for the Eagles of Carthage to thrill their fans.
