Qualification Path

Topped CAF African Qualifying Group H, going through with a perfect record of 9 wins and 1 draw from 10 matches without conceding a single goal.

Team Profile

Making their 7th World Cup appearance as one of North Africa's powerhouses, Tunisia achieved a historic first in World Cup qualifying by keeping a clean sheet across all 10 matches. At the 2022 tournament they pulled off a stunning upset victory over France, and they now look to build on that gritty defensive style to advance beyond the group stage for the first time.
