World Cup drama: Tunisia secures victory in last-minute winner
Tunisia's national football team has qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to take place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The team's current coach, however, remains unclear as the search results do not explicitly mention a name. Antoine Hey, a former coach who was dismissed in January 2023, is not currently associated with the team.
The qualification was secured in a hard-fought victory over Equatorial Guinea, with a 1:0 (0:0) scoreline. The winning goal was scored by a substitute, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, in the fourth minute of added time. The goal sparked wild celebrations from the visiting fans, marking a significant moment for Tunisian football.
This triumph marks Tunisia's seventh appearance in the World Cup finals. Despite failing to progress past the group stage in the previous World Cups in 2018 and 2022, the team has shown resilience and determination in their qualifying campaign.
Tunisia currently leads Group H of the African qualifiers, with two games remaining. They managed a surprising 1:0 victory over the defending champions France in 2018, demonstrating their potential on the international stage.
The 2026 World Cup will feature 48 teams for the first time, an increase from the 32 teams that participated in previous tournaments. This expansion is expected to provide more opportunities for teams like Tunisia to make a mark on the global stage.
As the team prepares for the World Cup, the search for a new coach continues. Regardless of who takes the helm, Tunisia finds itself in an unbeatable position, having secured its place among the world's top footballing nations once more.
