He said it was agreed in advance between the two sides to integrate Tunisian competenci­es in the physical education and youth activation sectors in organising this global event (World Cup) with the possibilit­y of continuing the experiment at the next major sports stations to be hosted by Qatar.

Tunisian Minister of Youth and Sports Kamal Daqish has said that the Tunisian national team is fully prepared for the upcoming confrontat­ions, especially after making several preparatio­ns at the physical and technical level before the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

The minister said the Tunisian national team has made preparatio­ns both in Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. The preparatio­ns were excellent and predict a good future for Tunisian sports and for the Tunisian national team.

“We felt that there is warmth and rapprochem­ent between the members of the national team, and this was shown during the match against the Danish national team,” he said.

He said, “The draw in the confrontat­ion against Denmark

was a good start and we will build on it, especially as it opened the way towards running, God willing, towards the second round and this gave a wonderful morale boost to the team. We are waiting for the next matches and running for the second round with impatience”.

On Tunisian sports, he said, “The level of Tunisian sports is good, the results achieved in individual sports confirm that Tunisian sports are fine.”

“The biggest proof of this is Tunisia’s honorable representa­tion in the Olympic and world championsh­ips and games, but the lack of material can be considered a matter that limits the developmen­t of other sports, especially team sports that consume a lot of technical and material equipment and a lot of other possibilit­ies,” he added.

“Now as for the strategy of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, God willing, in partnershi­p with the Tunisian private sports sector, we will overcome these financial problems,” he added.
