The North African side will take on Kenya on Friday as they begin their journey to secure a place in the continental tournament, which will be hosted in Morocco.
Tunisia is determined to make a strong start in the qualifiers, having prepared extensively for this crucial fixture.
The match will kick off at 12:00 GMT, with both teams aiming to gain an early advantage in the two-legged tie.
Kenya, playing at home, will look to capitalize on familiar conditions and home support, while Tunisia will rely on their experience to navigate the challenge.
The return leg is scheduled to take place in Tunis on Wednesday, January 26, with kick-off set for 13:00 GMT.
Tunisia will hope to finish the job on home soil, but much will depend on their performance in the first encounter in Nairobi.

Securing a place in the final tournament will not only be a major achievement but also an opportunity to showcase their progress on the continental stage.
