Tunisia head into World Cup 2026 with Benzarti at the helm

Tunisia return to the World Cup stage in 2026, marking their seventh appearance at the tournament and third in the last four editions. Under manager Faouzi Benzarti, the Eagles of Carthage secured qualification by topping their CAF group ahead of Equatorial Guinea, losing just once across the campaign. The squad leans on experienced heads like Youssef Msakni and Ellyes Skhiri, while Hannibal Mejbri represents the rising generation of talent looking to make an impact. With the tournament kicking off Thursday, Tunisian fans can expect a disciplined, organized side built to compete beyond the group stage.
