2026 World Cup: Tunisia Qualifies – Africa News

The ticket was composted at the last second. Tunisia has qualified for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada (June 11-July 19) by beating Equatorial Guinea (1-0) Malabo on Malabo in additional time.

The eagles, which can no longer be joined at the top of their group H when there are still two days left, imposed themselves in the rain thanks to a goal from Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane (90th + 4).

Tunisia is the 18th nation qualified for the World Cup, the second in Africa after Morocco which had obtained its ticket on Friday for the North American World Cup.

A third nation of the Maghreb, Algeria, should accompany them on the other side of the Atlantic, but it will be necessary to wait for the final meetings, in Somalia, on October 10, or against Uganda on October 13 for its ticket to be validated.
