Skander Souayah
Skander Souayah () (born 20 November 1972) is a Tunisian former football player who played for CS Sfaxien and Espérance Tunis.
He played for the Tunisia national football team and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he scored the only Tunisian goal of the competition from the penalty kick in the match against Romania.
Souayah received a six-month ban from FIFA's Disciplinary Committee following his positive doping test in March 2002.
Paris was an 80,000-strong sell out and the crowd were nearly rewarded with a shock as Skander Souayah scored an early penalty to give the north Africans the lead. Romania needed a point to win the group and, crucially, avoid Argentina in the round of 16, and got it when Moldovan volleyed a late equalizer. It did them little good, however, as in the round of 16 match at Bordeaux against Croatia, Davor Šuker scored a twice-taken penalty to eliminate Romania.
