Tunisia national team coach Sabri Lamouchi has revealed objectives his team will want to achieve when they start their campaign in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Carthage Eagles have qualified for the World Cup seven times (1978, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018, 2022, and 2026). While they have never advanced past the group stage, they are celebrated for being the first African team to win a World Cup match.
During the 1978 edition, Tunisia made history by becoming the first African and Arab nation to win a World Cup match, defeating Mexico 3-1. They also held the defending champions, West Germany, to a 0-0 draw.
In 2018 in Russia, Tunisia recorded their second-ever World Cup win by beating Panama 2-1. Ahead of the 2026 edition, the North Africans have been drawn in Group F alongside Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden.
While Cameroon became the first African team to reach the quarter-finals and Morocco the first to advance to the semi-finals, Tunisia are still searching for a first appearance in the knockout rounds.
