Tunisia — 2026 World Cup Squad

Ask any Tunisia supporter what keeps them up at night and the answer hasn't changed in a generation: goals. The Eagles of Carthage arrive in 2026 as one of the tournament's better-drilled outfits, a team you trust to make a match ugly and a team you'd hesitate to back to win it 2-0. Group F will test exactly that distinction.

Start with the parts that work. Montassar Talbi has turned his Lorient minutes into the calm of a defender who reads danger early, and the spine in front of him is genuinely strong. Ellyes Skhiri remains the heartbeat, a Frankfurt-honed No. 6 who slows games down and snuffs them out in equal measure; Rani Khedira does the unglamorous covering beside him, while Hannibal Mejbri channels his Burnley schooling into something closer to controlled menace than chaos. The question marks live further forward. Elias Achouri gives Tunisia width and pace from Copenhagen, but the spotlight belongs to Khalil Ayari.

Carrying a PSG badge onto this stage invites a particular weight, and Ayari is the man asked to bear it. If he converts Tunisia's tireless graft into actual goals, this group suddenly opens up.
