The Tunisia national football team (Arabic: منتخب تونس لِكُرَّةُ الْقَدَم; French: Équipe de Tunisie de football) represents Tunisia in men's international association football. The team is a member of both FIFA and CAF, the Confederation of African Football. It is governed by the Tunisian Football Federation, founded in 1957. Colloquially known as the Eagles of Carthage,[3] the team's colours are red and white, and the bald eagle is its symbol. Most of Tunisia's home matches are played at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès since 2001.[4]

Tunisia is one of the most competitive African national teams in international football, having won one African Cup of Nations as hosts in 2004.[5] They have made six FIFA World Cups and 21 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, and participated in four editions of the Olympic football tournaments.
