This 40 millime stamp immortalizes one of the most glorious pages of national sport: Tunisia's first participation in a World Cup final phase, in Argentina. The image of the goalkeeper rising towards the ball symbolizes the rise of the national team, which made history by becoming the first African nation to win a match in the finals (3-1 against Mexico). This historic victory was not only a sporting feat, but an immense vector of national pride and international recognition for Maghreb and African football.
