Tunisia are entering the FIVB Volleyball World League for the third successive year. They made their World League debut in the 2014 season and in 2015 finished bottom of Group 3’s Pool F with just one win against Puerto Rico. They have competed at every FIVB Volleyball World Championship since 2002, finishing joint-21st overall in 2014. At a continental level, they have won a medal at each African Championship in which they have competed, apart from in 2009 when they finished fifth. At the 2015 African Volleyball Championship, Tunisia finished with the silver medal. Their FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Cup performances have been consistent in recent outings, having finished 12th in 1995, 1999, 2007 and 2015. They finished 11th in 2003 but failed to match their joint-best finishes of eighth in 1981 and 1991.

Eight-time African champions Tunisia have participated in six Olympics, with a best finish of ninth at Los Angeles 1984. They have also appeared in 1972, 1988, 1996, 2004 and 2012, but failed to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games after finishing third at the Men’s World Olympic Qualification Tournament in Mexico.
