🇹🇳Qatar 2022 World Cup team preview of Tunisia | Les Aigles de Carthage

With just weeks to go before the 2022 World Cup kicks off in Qatar, a cloud of uncertainty lingers over Tunisia’s participation at football’s biggest extravaganza.
Last week, FIFA warned the Tunisian football federation that the team could be booted out of the World Cup if there is any evidence of government interference in the organisation.
Concerns of a breach surfaced after Tunsia’s youth and sports minister threatened to dissolve some federal offices in the country.
Politics aside – if Tunisia manage to make it to Qatar, the mission remains the same: to reach the knockout stage for the first time.
The 2004 African champions have never made it out of the group stage in their last five World Cup finals appearances.
Can they make history on their sixth try?
Tunisian star striker Wahbi Khazri is confident of it.
“I think we can make it out of the group,” Khazri told SNTV in September. “I think that it would be exceptional if we could do it.”
Tunisia are clearly the underdogs in a Group B comprising of reigning reigning champions France, dark horses Denmark and a spirited Australian side.
But the Eagles of Carthage are resilient bunch who qualified for the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Mali in March –
two months after their manager Mondher Kebaier was replaced by assistant coach Jalel Kadri.
Tunisia will pin their hopes on 31-year-old Khazri, who is the only Tunisian to score multiple goals at a World Cup.
The Montpeillier forward found the net twice in 2018 against Panama and Belgium.
Seifeddine Jaziri could be another attacking option for Tunisia.
The Zamalek striker won the Golden Boot at the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup after scoring four goals.
Keep your eyes peeled on possible breakout star Hannibal Mejbri.
The Manchester United midfielder is making waves at his loan spell with Birmingham City and will be looking to score his first goal for Tunisia at the World Cup.
Tunisia will play Denmark in their World Cup opener (22 November), before meeting Australia (30 November). Their final Group B showdown will be against France.
