[2] Women's football in Tunisia is now multiplying efforts to assert its national and international reputation. Nevertheless, the road may be long.
The beginning of women's football in Tunisia During the 2000s, women's football remained non-existent in Tunisia. This discipline practiced in women has indeed suffered from a total neglect of the major players in the sector. This neglect is the result of a culture rooted in male football. Moreover, women have fallen behind in the field.
The world of women's football in Tunisia The Tunisian women's football cup started the season in 2004–2005. It is a national football competition organized every year. This competition opposes the best women's football clubs in Tunisia.
Tunisian women's football on the international level Despite the national competitions, Tunisia remains absent from international confrontations. FIFA has also qualified Tunisia as inactive since 2016.
Yet, the Tunisian federation has committed to the establishment of a large women's national team. This initiative aims to create a female model of Tunisian football at the international level and to change the finding of FIFA. This organization, advised by Tarek Bouchamaoui, will be able to see the skills of women's football. Moreover, Tarek Bouchamaoui, a member of the FIFA council, wishes an improvement of all the teams in Africa, including the women's teams. [3]
The Tunisian team qualified for second time to 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations after a victory against Equatorial Guinea. In their first match against Togo, Tunisia recorded their first win ever in the WAFCON 4–1. Even with two defeats against Zambia 1–0 and Cameroon 2–0, the team was still able to qualify to the quarter-finals for the first time ever as one of the third ranked teams. Against South Africa, Tunisia lost 1–0. The Tunisians still had another chance with a Repechage match against Senegal to enter the inter-confederation play-offs, yet another lacklustre performance saw Tunisia's dream crashed out, losing 2–4 on penalties.
