[2] In the 2016 edition, under the leadership of Henryk Kasperczak, Tunisia qualified for the finals, but Hatem Missaoui led the team in Rwanda.
The national team qualified for the final phase but, on 20 December 2019, the qualification was withdrawn by the Tunisian Football Federation due to the intensity of the matches.
[24] Four days later, the team achieved its first victory against Rwanda 3–1 with goals from Oussama Darragi, Salema Kasdaoui and Zouheir Dhaouadi.
The regular and extra time ended in a 1–1 draw, with Tunisia winning on penalties 5–3,[33] with Rami Jeridi stopping Hocine Metref's kick with his fist.
[35] 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.
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.
