    Notable absentees

    Sabri Lamouchi was appointed Tunisia head coach on January 14, 2026, replacing Sami Trabelsi (sacked after the AFCON 2025 Round of 16 exit to Mali on penalties). The French-Tunisian Lamouchi was famously cut from France's final 1998 World Cup squad before the tournament began; as a coach, he previously took Ivory Coast to the 2014 World Cup. Captain Ellyes Skhiri is the squad's lynchpin and the only Tunisian to play Champions League football this season. UNIQUE STORY: midfielder Rani Khedira is the YOUNGER BROTHER of Germany's 2014 World Cup winner Sami Khedira — joining the Boateng brothers (Kevin-Prince for Ghana, Jérôme for Germany) as siblings who have played at World Cups for DIFFERENT NATIONS. Tunisia head to their 7th World Cup; the Eagles of Carthage have NEVER passed the group stage in 6 previous appearances (1978, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018, 2022). Tunisia open Group F against Sweden on June 14 in Guadalajara, then Japan on June 20 in Guadalajara, finishing against the Netherlands on June 25 in Kansas City.

    Mohamed Ali Ben RomdhaneFerencvárosTHE BIGGEST controversy — scored the 94th-minute winner vs Equatorial Guinea that sealed Tunisia's qualification AND finished as top scorer in qualifying with 4 goals. Lamouchi's most debated decision.
    Seifeddine JaziriZamalekEqually surprising omission — experienced striker and familiar face in the national setup
