Tunisia had to play against other African countries to qualify. They played in Group H with teams like Equatorial Guinea, Namibia, Malawi, Liberia, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
Here are some important games they won:
- Tunisia beat Malawi 2-0 at home (Jaziri and Achouri scored)
- They won 1-0 against Liberia (Mastouri scored early)
- The best game was against Equatorial Guinea - Ben Romdhane scored in 94th minute to win 1-0!
Final table - Tunisia was first place
Tunisia got 22 points from 8 games. They were really good at defense and didn't let other teams score many goals.
The Coach Who Made It Happen

Sami Trabelsi is the coach of Tunisia team. He came back with one goal - take Tunisia to World Cup. His plan was simple but worked very well. He made the team play good defense and then attack quickly when they got the ball.
This strategy was perfect for Tunisia. The players knew what to do and they trusted each other.
Best Players in Tunisia Team

Let me tell you about best players:
Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane - He is the hero! Scored the most important goal to send Tunisia to World Cup.
