The Tunisian selection is playing a friendly match against Botswana in Tabarka, the last stage of its preparation before the Africa Cup of Nations. A test deliberately organized behind closed doors to allow the technical staff to refine their choices within a controlled framework.
A friendly match behind closed doors to preserve preparation
The Carthage Eagles face Botswana in a friendly match organized in Tabarka, as part of the final preparation phase for the Africa Cup of Nations. At the request of national coach Sami Trabelsi, the confrontation took place without an audience or media coverage.
Neither supporters nor journalists are allowed to attend the match, which is not being broadcast on television. A choice fully accepted by the technical staff, keen to work out of sight and to preserve certain tactical axes as the continental meeting approaches.
Final adjustments before entering the continental competition
This match against Botswana constitutes the last rehearsal before the departure of the Tunisian delegation to Morocco, host country of the CAN. The technical management intends to take advantage of this meeting to assess the physical state of the group, test certain associations and make final adjustments.
In a context of high expectations around the national selection, this preparation phase is part of a logic of gradual increase in power. Tunisia will approach the competition with the stated objective of playing the leading roles, and this test, even contested far from the media agitation, represents a key step in the construction of Sami Trabelsi’s sporting project.
