Since its first victory in the African Cup of Nations, at home in 2004, Tunisia has never missed the slightest edition of the competition… But it is still waiting for a new final. This will be its objective during this 2025 campaign, which it begins this Tuesday in Rabat against Uganda, with the desire to stock up on points before facing Nigeria, the other favorite of the group, in the next match.
A priori, Uganda (85th in the FIFA rankings) is the ideal opponent to start the tournament for the Carthage Eagles (40th). Without a big star, but with a homogenous squad, coach Sami Trabelsi has a way of surprising the best nations, notably thanks to his strong defense. Several well-known faces from Ligue 1 are on his list, including Naïm Sliti, Ismaël Gharbi and Montassar Talbi, current Lorient defender.
The Tunisia-Uganda match kicks off at 9 p.m. this Tuesday, December 23. The meeting will be followed live on television on beIN Sports 1 and live with commentary on the leparisien.fr website.
