All 2026 World Cup Matches

TEAM OVERVIEW

Having failed to emerge from the group stage during any of their previous six World Cup appearances, Tunisia’s hopes for a historic breakthrough may rest on 2026’s newly expanded format. The Eagles of Carthage cracked the tourney on a scorching defensive heater, conceding a grand total of zero goals through their first eight qualifying matches, but returning coach and former team captain Sami Trabelsi’s side will face their ultimate test come June. Then again, from their historic 1978 victory over Mexico (the first World Cup victory for an African nation) to their 1-0 stunner over France in Qatar, Tunisia’s underdog tenacity has often delivered when the world least expected it.

Ancient warriors seek knockout glory


Perhaps it’s no surprise that Trabelsi – a former defender and Tunisia’s captain during the 1998 World Cup – has built on the stifling organization that produced that 2022 upset over France. But his preferred 4-3-3 system is an attacking one, requiring players to compress space and then explode on the break. With a fresh generation of talent trained in the crucible of European leagues at his disposal, Trabelsi produced a squad whose set-piece danger and late-game mentality resulted in multiple 90th-minute goals during qualifying. If their matches turn into battles of will, The Eagles of Carthage will have the upper hand.

Bendirs and Brotherhood


Word of the atmosphere at Education City Stadium during Tunisia’s 0-0 draw with Denmark in 2022 quickly spread across the world of Arab soccer fandom. Reports suggesting that it was “almost impossible” to find a Danish fan amid the ocean of Eagles supporters. And while Qatar may be nominally more proximate to Tunisia than, say, New York City (≈5,000 km vs ≈7,000k km), the rise in pan-arabism evident during the last tournament suggests that Tunisia will be capable of drawing support wherever they play. Keep an ear open for the nation’s traditional bendir drum, whose characteristic rasp creates a sonic effect distinct from the more common North African darbuka.

Fire and… More Fire


Hannibal Mejbri embodies Tunisia's tenacious modern identity. A 22-year-old sparkplug whose decision to represent the Eagles rather than France galvanized the nation’s fanbase, his technical brilliance is matched by his combative approach. While the world may remember him for throwing balls at Australian players in Qatar, Manchester United teammates are more likely to recall his substitution appearance at Liverpool that very same year: while the rest of the squad sleepwalked to a 4-0 loss, Mejbri hurled himself around the pitch, committing foul after foul as if the loss was a personal affront. Meanwhile, winger Ellyes Skhiri ran more than 246 miles in a single season at Cologne (tops in the Bundesliga), providing a tireless physical foil to Mejbri’s unyielding passion.
