Hannibal Mejbri (Manchester United-trained) represents an exciting new generation; Khazri provides veteran leadership. Their challenge is progressing past a group stage they've consistently reached.

Tactical Blueprint
A disciplined 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 with strong defensive shape and direct forward play. Jebali leads the press and provides goal threat; the midfield trio covers ground well and limits opposition space in central areas.

★ Tournament Lore
Tunisia's best World Cup result was a memorable 1-0 victory over defending champions France in 2022, though it wasn't enough to advance.
They became the first African nation to win a World Cup match in 1978, beating Mexico.
Hannibal Mejbri grew up in France and chose Tunisia internationally over France — a choice celebrated across North Africa.
