Tunisia is set to go head-to-head with Argentina this Tuesday at 4 p.m. Coordinated Universal Time in the Under-17 World Cup’s round of 16, being held in the United Arab Emirates.
In contrast to the Carthage Aiglons’ previous match against Japan, where Coach Ben Soltane opted for squad rotation, the starters are back in action for this crucial encounter against Argentina, one of the top teams in this age category. Goalkeeper Ben Hassen has reclaimed his position over Ben Chrifia, while Hnid, Jebali, and Arfaoui retain their starting spots.
Following Morocco’s 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast, Tunisia stands as the sole representative of the Maghreb in this youth competition.
The lineup for Tunisia includes: Ben Hassen, Hnid, Jebali, Othman, Sahraoui, Akrout, Arfaoui, Aboud, Naghmouchi, Ben Salem, and Hazem Haj Hassan.
Argentina’s lineup features: Batalla, Mammana, Tripichio, Ferreyra, Vega, Driussi, Compagnucci, Morrera, Ibanez, Leszczuk, and Sanchez.
