Tunisia will make their seventh FIFA World Cup™ appearance in 2026, marking their third consecutive qualification. They have now reached six of the last eight editions.
The Carthage Eagles made history on their World Cup debut in 1978, defeating Mexico 3-1 in their opening match to become the first African team to win a game at the tournament.
Although Tunisia have yet to progress beyond the group stage, they ended their Qatar 2022 campaign on a high note with a 1-0 victory over reigning champions France, who went on to reach the final for a second successive time.
Tunisia were the second African nation to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 26™, following Morocco, securing top spot in their group with a 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea on 8 September 2025. They completed an exceptional qualifying campaign unbeaten, with nine wins, one draw and no goals conceded across ten matches.
