The '''Tunisian Football Federation''' ({{langx|ar|الجامعة التونسية لكرة القدم}}, {{langx|fr|Fédération Tunisienne de Football}}) is the governing body of [[association football|football]] in [[Tunisia]]. It established on 29 March 1957. It became a member in the [[FIFA]] in 1960, and in the same year it also became a member of [[Confederation of African Football|CAF]] association. The federation also joined the [[Union of Arab Football Associations|UAFA]] in 1976 and the [[UNAF]] in 2005.
It organises the football league, the [[Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1]], the [[Tunisia national football team]] and the [[Tunisia women's national football team]]. It is based in [[Tunis]]. The affairs of the federation are currently managed by a normalisation committee appointed by FIFA, which will be chaired by [[Kamel Idir]].
== History ==
It was during a meeting held on 9 November 1909 by a provisional committee bringing together sports societies that the first statutes of an official championship were adopted. It was from the 1921−1922 season that the Tunisian championship was regularly organized under the name of "championship of honor division". The [[Tunisian Cup]] began a year later.
As soon as independence was proclaimed in 1956, the leaders of Tunisian football took the necessary steps to create an exclusively national body to replace the Tunisian Football League (an offshoot of the [[French Football Federation]]). These steps led to the creation of the Tunisian Football Federation, which was approved on 29 March 1957. Recognized as being of public utility, the Tunisian Football Federation has since invested in its dual mission of promoting football and managing the national competition as well as the various teams representing Tunisia in international competitions.

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 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1|2020–21 season]] and to organize a play-off round to identify the team which will replace it. .
