Tunisia’s national football team has set its sights on vigorous preparations for the upcoming African Cup of Nations, unveiling two vital friendly matches as part of its rigorous training regimen ahead of the tournament in Ivory Coast.
Confirmed by the Tunisian Football Federation, Jalel Kadri’s squad is scheduled to lock horns with Mauritania on Saturday, January 6, followed by a match against Cape Verde on Wednesday, January 10. Both international friendlies are set to take place at the Hamadi Agrebi stadium in Rades, Tunisia’s football hub.
Positioned in Group E for the prestigious tournament, the Tunisian squad will commence their campaign against Namibia on Tuesday, January 16, at 5:00 p.m. GMT. They will then face off against Mali on Saturday, January 20, at 8:00 p.m. GMT, and South Africa on Wednesday, January 24, at 5:00 p.m. GMT in their group stage battles.
Meanwhile, Mauritania and Cape Verde, placed in Groups D and B, respectively, have their own challenges awaiting them in the CAN. Mauritania is set to clash against Algeria, Angola, and Burkina Faso, while Cape Verde is set to battle Ghana, Mozambique, and Egypt in their group stage encounters.
These preparatory matches not only offer Tunisia a platform to fine-tune their strategies but also serve as an essential test for their adversaries, Mauritania and Cape Verde, as they gear up for their own group stage contests in the highly anticipated African football spectacle. The fixtures promise intense competition and provide an ideal opportunity for the participating teams to gauge their strengths and readiness ahead of the tournament kick-off.
