Tunisia's squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

In Africa, only Cameroon and Morocco have participated in more FIFA World Cups than Tunisia. Cameroon was the first African team to reach the quarter-finals, while Morocco was the first to reach the semi-finals. Tunisia, meanwhile, is still yearning for its first ever appearance in the knockout stages of a World Cup.

This is a dismal record that the team nicknamed the Eagles of Carthage hopes to break at the 2026 FIFA World Cup – a tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

This tournament marks Tunisia's seventh World Cup appearance in history. However, the North African players will face an extremely difficult challenge after being drawn into Group F alongside strong teams such as Sweden, Japan, and the Netherlands.

The Tunisian national team participating in the FIFA World Cup 2026 has the following basic information: captain is Ellyes Skhiri, head coach is Sabri Lamouchi. This is Tunisia's 7th World Cup in history, including the 2026 tournament. Their best performance in previous World Cups was reaching the group stage.
