The Tunisia national football team , nicknamed Les Aigles de Carthage (The Eagles of Carthage), is the national team of Tunisia and is controlled by the Fédération Tunisienne de Football. They have qualified for four FIFA World Cups, the first one in 1978, but have yet to make it out of the first round. Nevertheless, they created history in that 1978 tournament in Argentina by becoming the first African side to win a World Cup match, beating Mexico 3-1. They also held defending champions West Germany to a goalless draw before bowing out. It took them 20 years to return to the finals but they have since qualified for the past three tournaments in succession, in 1998, 2002 and 2006. They were the only African team to appear at 2002 and 2006. 2002 qualifiers Senegal, Cameroon, Nigeria and South Africa were replaced by Ivory Coast, Angola, Ghana and Togo who would all qualify for the first time. As of 23rd June 2006, Tunisia has been knocked out of the 2006 World Cup, coming third in their group after drawing with Saudi Arabia and suffering successive loses to Spain and Ukraine. Tunisia also won the African Nations Cup in 2004, when they hosted the tournament.
