The Tunisia A' national football team, is the local national team that has represented Tunisia in football, since it played its first match on 30 March 2008 against Libya, which ended in a 1–1 draw. It is a member team of FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) supervised by the Tunisian Football Federation (TFF), which was established on 29 March 1957.
Colloquially known as the Eagles of Carthage by fans and media and the bald eagle is its symbol. Their home kit is primarily red and their away kit white, a reference to their national flag. Tunisia's main venue is the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium in Radès, Tunis. The Tunisian national football team is only open to Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 players. The team won the African Nations Championship in 2011 by beating Angola in the final 3–0, which was held in Sudan.[1] FIFA counts its matches as international A matches and does not distinguish the first team from the A' team.
