Tunisia Fifa World Cup squad is ranked 14 in Fifa Ranking position. Tunisia scored 11 goals in six qualifying games with four of them in one match for the Fifa 2018 World Cup qualification.

The Tunisia national football team nicknamed Les Aigles de Carthage (The Eagles of Carthage or The Carthage Eagles) 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.
