Tunisia–Algeria match during the
2013 Africa Cup of Nations
Tunisia–Gabon on 17 January 2010 for
2010 African Cup .
Tunisia participated in the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 1962 . In that year the country came in third by defeating Uganda in the third place match 3–0. That tournament, however, only four countries took part. In 1965 Tunisia was allowed to act as host country and made it to the final, where they lost 2–3 against Ghana .
Tunisia did not reach the final again until 1996 , and again finished as runners-up, this time losing 0–2 to hosts South Africa . Tunisia's biggest success in the tournament came 8 years later , when as hosts they reached the final for the third time and were victorious, defeating Morocco 2–1. Francileudo Santos and Ziad Jaziri scored the goals for Tunisia.
