Complete Team Guide
Tunisia qualified with a perfect 28/30 and zero goals conceded in CAF. The squad Skhiri captains is built on that defensive discipline plus a midfield of rare depth. Rani Khedira — brother of Germany's 2014 World Cup winner — chose the Tunisian flag. Khalil Ayari arrives from PSG's academy as the wildcard.

Road to 2026
Tunisia qualified for a seventh World Cup and FIFA's team profile shows just how authoritative the campaign became: 28 points from 30 and not a single goal conceded across ten qualifiers. That is an extraordinary foundation for any team, even if Tunisia's next challenge is the familiar one of finally converting qualification consistency into a meaningful tournament run.
Key Players
Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane
Midfielder
Ferencváros
Ben Romdhane scored the dramatic late winner against Equatorial Guinea that made qualification official, according to FIFA.
Montassar Talbi
Defender
Lorient
Talbi is one of the clearest reasons Tunisia can keep matches organised and physically competitive.
Hannibal Mejbri
Midfielder
Sevilla
Hannibal brings intensity and a more adventurous passing profile in midfield.
Aïssa Laïdouni
Midfielder
Al-Wakrah
Laidouni adds bite and helps Tunisia maintain the pressing edge that supports their defensive record.
Bechir Ben Said
Goalkeeper
US Monastir
A side that went through qualifying without conceding naturally depends on concentration in goal, and Ben Said has been part of that platform.
