A dispute arises between the Minister of Youth and Sports, Tarak Dhiab, and the President of the Tunisian Football Federation, Wadie Jary.,[4] on the basis of the choice of the national coach.

Indeed, with the support of FIFA, which prohibits any political interference in the affairs of the federations, Jary does not consult the minister and hires Mokhtar Tlili as a special advisor and Nabil Maâloul as coach.

However, Maâloul's resignation, the miraculous qualification of the national team, Jary's response to FIFA in which he denies the interference of the ministry and the intervention of the head of government temporarily calm the situation.

The Tunisian Football Federation freezes the activities of CS Chebba on 17 October 2020,[5] a decision which follows a dispute between the two parties, the club having been ordered to pay a fine of 200,000 dinars.

Faced with the non-payment of this amount, the decision is taken by the Federation to exclude the club from all national championships from the 2020–21 season and to organize a play-off round to identify the team which will replace it.

[6] At the end of October 2022, an internal dispute concerning the Minister of Youth and Sports, Kamel Deguiche, and the president of the federation, Wadie Jary, threatens Tunisia's participation in the World Cup.

[10] He also announced his international retirement through a phone call on the TV program Stade Plus on Carthage Plus, until the president of the Tunisian Football Federation, Wadie Jary, left his position.

[11] It started when Bilel Ifa was excluded from the list a day before the official announcement, and was later brought back after fans outraged on social media.

On 14 November 2022, hundreds of fans greeted the team bus in Doha upon their arrival, but the president of the Federation was insulted in the worst terms.

On 28 November 2022, former national team player Issam Jemâa said on Radio IFM,[12] that TFF officials had sacrificed one of the players to call four goalkeepers into the final list, as the choice was on Bilel Ifa, who returned to the team after the anger of the fans, Taha Yassine Khenissi, who was medically examined for two hours, so they could find him injured or Seifeddine Jaziri, who was called up due to financial transactions between him and the brother of the president of the TFF, Wajih Jary.

[13] In February 2023, Wadie Jary does not have the right to leave Tunisian territory following a court decision because he is the target of several investigations relating to the organization of match-fixing, cases of money laundering, embezzlement funds and corruption.

[23] On 20 April, the applications closed with three lists again:[24] that of Ziad Tlemçani, businessman former and international player,[25] Wassef Jelaiel, vice-president of the FTF and Jalel Ben Tekaya, candidate for the second time.
