About Tunisia
Tunisia are Africa's most experienced World Cup nation by appearances, making their sixth tournament appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Eagles of Carthage have historically been a tough-to-beat, organised side that causes opponents problems but has never managed to advance beyond the group stage in five previous attempts. Coach Faouzi Benzarti has veterans like Wahbi Khazri and Youssef Msakni alongside the promising Manchester United-linked Hannibal Mejbri. Group F against the Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden represents their toughest group in World Cup history - but progress from the group stage would be a landmark moment for Tunisian football.
Team Base Camp
🇲🇽 Mexico
Base camp
Santiago, Nuevo León
Eagles of Carthage train at Liga MX side Rayados' training centre. Northern Mexico's dry heat is a closer match to Tunisia's summer climate than US East Coast humidity.
Per FIFA regulations (§18.3), Tunisia stays at this base camp for the entire group stage and travels to each match venue one day before kickoff (and returns the same night or the next day).
Distance to each group-stage match
Straight-line distance from Santiago to each match stadium. Actual travel adds airport time on flights.
