The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia may be set to miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar following a statement from FIFA regarding government interference in the running of football in the country.
FIFA said Tunisia could be barred from participating in Qatar 2022 World Cup as a result of the government meddling in football matters of the North African nation.
According to BBC.com FIFA’s statement comes after Tunisia’s Youth and Sports Minister Kamel Deguiche made comments about the possibility of “dissolving Federal bureaux.”
FIFA regards Deguiche’s statements as an interference in the running of Tunisian football by the Federation Tunisienne de Football, FTF. And the world football governing body has asked FTF to clarify its current situation.

FIFA reiterated its laws which state that member organisations are “legally obligated to conduct their affairs independently and without undue influence from third parties. Any failure to comply with these obligations may result in the imposition of penalties under Fifa laws including suspension of the relevant association.”
Tunisia are in Group D of the 2022 FIFA World Cup with France, Denmark and Australia.
The Carthage Eagles have qualified for six FIFA World Cups ; Argentina ’78, France ’98, Korea/Japan 2002, Germany 2006, Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022.
Tunisia have never reached the knockout stage at the FIFA World Cup finals.

Olujjjj we would not like to go to the World Cup, but we will win Afcon. in Cote De’Ivore 2024;why? cause Super Eagles now have better strikers than any African strikers in Europe, see Moffi has 8 goals, Onauchu has 8 goals, Osimhen has 5 goals, Awaziem had 4 goals, Boniface has 5 goals, Awoniyi has 3 goals, injured Sadiq Umar has 3 goals before he had injured; Iwobi is second playmaker after De Bruyne at Premiere Leauge; Alhassan Ibrahim has been selected at Belgium Leauge team of week for many times; also Awaziem has been selected; Uzoho had advanced his level after Man. United match. Super Eagles players in Europe have been advancing their levels this season 2022-2023, so I think in 2023-2024 you will see strong SE players high levels which will lead them to be top of African teams.Osimhen and Moffi are tow goalscorers in Afcon. qualification for Cote De’ Ivore final; Osimhen has 5 goals, Moffi has 2 goals.
Please forget Uzoho…..What he did gainst Man U is nothing special. I don’t see anything in it….
