Tunisia at the 2026 World Cup – Squad, Stats, Fixtures & History

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.
