Carthago Eagles
A national team born far from home soil: Tunisian players and players of Tunisian descent, playing for clubs all over Europe, brought together under one red jersey.
The Tunisian Association of American Football was founded on 31 August 2016. A year later the Carthago Eagles played their first game. In November 2026 they faced Belgium in Brussels.
The goal is the same as on day one: make American football exist in Tunisia, all the way to clubs and a federation.
