Tunisia will now face the Central African Republic in their final friendly match in Morocco, following a third alteration to their scheduled opponent.
The fixture is set to take place on 10 June in Casablanca, with kick-off confirmed for 8:00 p.m. local time.
Initially, Tunisia’s third and final opponent in their series of friendlies was set to be Guinea. However, that plan was later revised, with Zambia named as the replacement.
In a further reshuffle, the Central African Republic has now been confirmed as the North African side’s next adversary.
This change brings an end to a series of scheduling adjustments that have marked Tunisia’s friendly campaign on Moroccan soil.
Despite the instability in opposition planning, the Tunisian camp is continuing its preparations undeterred, using the matches as key testing grounds ahead of future competitive engagements.
Tunisia began their stint in Morocco with a hard-fought win against Burkina Faso, demonstrating solid tactical structure and attacking intent. However, they followed that result with a defeat to hosts Morocco, a match that exposed areas in need of refinement.
The upcoming clash with the Central African Republic now offers the Tunisian technical staff another opportunity to evaluate the squad, rotate players, and work on cohesion.
For the Central African Republic, the fixture presents a valuable opportunity to test themselves against one of Africa’s more established footballing nations.
It also offers exposure and experience for a squad still developing its identity on the continental stage.
The Tunisian Football Federation has yet to offer an official explanation for the series of opponent changes. Such reshuffles are not uncommon in international friendlies, often due to logistical issues, changes in team availability, or adjustments in travel arrangements.
Despite the disruptions, head coach Jalel Kadri is expected to treat the match as a key part of Tunisia’s broader preparation plan.
With a mix of experienced players and emerging talents in the current squad, the coaching staff is working to strike the right balance and build momentum ahead of upcoming qualifiers.
The fixture in Casablanca also serves as a test of mental resilience and adaptability for the players, who must remain focused despite the uncertainty surrounding their opponents.
The back-to-back nature of these friendlies allows Kadri and his team to experiment with tactical setups, assess player performances, and gather crucial insights before returning to competitive action.
As the final whistle approaches on Tunisia’s Moroccan tour, the encounter with the Central African Republic will close a brief but intense preparation period.
The focus now shifts to ensuring a positive performance to round off the series and to leave the camp with confidence restored after the setback against Morocco.
The match will be watched closely by fans and analysts alike, with many keen to see how Tunisia respond to the latest change and whether they can finish their friendly run on a high note.
