Tunisia crashed out of the tournament after they missed qualifying for group stages despite the shock 1-0 victory.
"The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia narrowly miss out on the Round of 16 but have displayed incredible tenacity to beat the defending Champions, France. Great game," Raila said.
France had already qualified for the last 16 following their win in their previous game over Denmark.
Tunisia's win was the country’s first victory against European opposition at a World Cup and their third ever in 18 matches at the competition.
Raila has been an ardent supporter of African teams at the global soccer showcase and promised to travel to Qatar to watch the final should an African team qualify.

"Well in! The Lions of Teranga have done our continent proud, what a splendid display of football. Congratulations Senegal on qualifying for the Round of 16 at the Fifa World Cup," he tweeted.
