AL RAYYAN, Qatar, Nov 30 (Reuters) – Some Tunisian fans whistled at the French national anthem when it was played at the Education City stadium before kickoff in the World Cup Group D game between France and Tunisia on Wednesday.

In 2008, supporters at the Stade de France whistled at “La Marseillaise” ahead of a friendly game between France and Tunisia, a former French colony which gained independence in 1956.
