Tunisia’s national team is undergoing significant changes as it prepares for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
With former international Sami Trabelsi recently appointed as head coach, the Carthage Eagles are focusing on strengthening their squad by bringing back experienced players.
Following the return of Wahbi Khazri, the Tunisian Football Federation is now keen to convince other veterans to rejoin the national team.
According to Tunisian broadcaster Nessma, newly appointed sporting director Zied Jaziri is expected to hold discussions with Youssef Msakni and Naïm Sliti in a bid to reinforce the squad.
Msakni, who has earned 104 caps, and Sliti, with 76 international appearances, have both been playing in Qatar in recent years.
The timing of these potential reinforcements is critical, as Tunisia faces two crucial World Cup qualifying matches in March.
Currently leading their group, the Carthage Eagles are set to take on Liberia and Malawi, encounters that could significantly impact their journey to the 2026 tournament.
The return of seasoned players could provide Tunisia with much-needed leadership and experience as they navigate the qualification campaign.
With Trabelsi at the helm, the team is aiming to blend youth and experience to ensure their place on football’s biggest stage.
