The Tunisian team loses to Libya and threatens to miss the 2027 season

This defeat complicated Tunisia's position in the continental playoffs after scoring just two points out of a possible nine in their first three games. The team had tied in the previous two rounds against both Uganda and Botswana.

This figure puts Tunisia's ongoing appearances in the Africa Cup of Nations finals since 1994 at risk of disruption. These findings coincide with rising questions about the responsibility of the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) for a decline in performance and the absence of a restorative sports project.

The Tunisian team had started its first training session in Sfax City with 21 players on the ground at Alteib al-Mahiri Stadium in preparation for this continental confrontation.

The Tunisian team has a complicated track record in the remaining matches of their group, which includes Libya, Botswana and Uganda. Since Uganda has already secured qualification as a host nation, only one qualification card remains for the competition between the other three teams.
