The Prime Minister of Tunisia, Ali Laarayah, has reportedly expressed disapproval of the decision made by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Tarek Dhiab, regarding the dissolution of the Tunisian Football Federation. This follows Minister Dhiab’s letter to FIFA requesting the dissolution of the current federal office, a move that has been interpreted by some as a personal dispute between Dhiab and Wadii Jarii.
Government interference in football affairs can lead to serious consequences, with FIFA potentially imposing sanctions that could result in national teams and clubs being excluded from continental and world competitions. Such sanctions could impact Tunisia’s national team, the Eagles of Carthage, and prevent them from participating in future competitions.
