The Tunisia national minifootball team (Arabic: منتخب تونس لكرة القدم المصغّرة), nicknamed Les Aigles de Carthage (The Eagles of Carthage or The Carthage Eagles), represents Tunisia in international minifootball competitions. It is affiliated to the Tunisian Minifootball Federation.

History

The practice of minifoot has developed a lot in recent years in Tunisia, under FTMF guidance. More generally, minifootball is taking its place in societies and the media. Since its beginnings in 2016, the Tunisian Federation of Minifoot (FTMF) has seen the big picture, by organizing the second edition of the world cup, in Nabeul 2017. Tunisia hosted an edition of 24 nations, with headliners such as France, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. This historic event, for a young federation, marked a turning point.

At the local championship level, the first edition (2016) was contested with 12 teams. Since then, total number of clubs affiliated to FTMF has risen to more than 150, in four corners of Tunisia, with different levels. Latest upgrade was introduction of VAR, establishment of training sessions for minifootball coaches, and organization of the first ladies mini-football championship 2019–2020 season.[1]
