In the next edition, the Tunisian Football Federation announced that Tunisia will not participate in the 2018 African Nations Championship due to the participation of the first team in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
In 2020 African Nations Championship qualification, Tunisia faced Libya two home and away games, winning the first match 1–0 at Stade Olympique de Radès and the second 2–1 at Stade Boubker Ammar; Anice Badri scores the goals for Tunisia in both cases.

Tournaments
[edit]2011 African Nations Championship
[edit]Beginning in 2011, Tunisia was marked by the revolution. under new coach Sami Trabelsi, Tunisia played two home and away matches against Morocco and won 1–1 in the first leg at the Stade Olympique de Radès[20] and 2–2 in the return in the Stade Mohammed V thanks to the goals of Saber Khalifa and Mehdi Meriah,[21] achieving qualification for the first time Tunisia is in the African Nations Championship. The team was led by Sami Traboulsi for the 2011 African Nations Championship held in Sudan.[22] After the group stage where she finished easily for the first time, a 1–1 draw against Angola,[23] a 3–1 victory against Rwanda[24] and another 2–0 victory against Senegal,[25] she found in the quarter–finals the defending champions DR Congo and won 1–0.[26] In the semi–finals,[27] faced Algeria, after a two–hour battle 1–1, Tunisia qualified on penalties.[28]
In the final match, Angola found the ease of winning the match and crowning the title with a score of 3–0.[29] Angola started off well piling feverish pressure on the Eagles of Carthage through the right flank but lacked a lot of polish with their finishing. Tunisia came close to scoring in the 13th minutes, but the Palancas Negras man between the woodworks Lamá made a point blank save. Three minutes after, Zouheir Dhaouadi came close to scoring, but the Angolan goalkeeper anticipated well to block it from his post. Mejdi Traoui's powerful drive in the 20th minutes was punched aside by Lama, who was well positioned to deny the Eagles their first goal.[30] Adel Chedli sent the Carthage fans on their foot at the Al-Merrikh Stadium in the 37th minutes, but he missed the post by an inch. Their one-two-one-two upfront kept mesmerizing the Angolan guardsmen, but their finishing were poorly executed. The north Africans returned from the interval determined. Two minutes into the second half Traoui Mejdi Traoui in the ball from waist level with a right foot from Dhaouadi's cross from the left flank. Tunisia’s onslaughts began paying off from the 74th minute when Zouhaier doubled their lead with a left foot roll of the ball that went past Lamá straight into the woodwork. As the game wore on substitute Oussama Darragi put the final nail on the coffin in the 80th minutes to give the north Africans the ultimate.[31] Zouheir Dhaouadi was also selected as the best player in the tournament.[32]
