National coach Sami Trabelsi unveiled, this Friday, the list of players called to play in the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar-2025, scheduled from December 1 to 18. The Carthage Eagles will play in Group A alongside the host country, Qatar, while two other opponents will be known after the play-offs on November 25. Tunisia is aiming for a strong run after losing the 2021 final to Algeria.
