Tunisia World Cup Team Statistics
Tunisia's team statistics reflect a squad that delivered a winless, defensively vulnerable group-stage performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with attacking output falling short in all three fixtures. The team's offensive structure produced 2 goals across three matches, with Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane and Hazem Mastouri accounting for Tunisia's entire scoring output. Tunisia created limited chances through counter-attacking transitions and Anis Ben Slimane's movement from midfield, reflecting a system built around defensive containment against stronger opposition.
Tunisia maintained possession at an average of 31 percent across the group stage, completing 74 percent of passes, averaging 320 passes per game. Defensive metrics (12 goals conceded across three matches and zero clean sheets) highlight a defense that broke down repeatedly against Sweden, Japan, and the Netherlands. Tunisia demonstrated limited defensive stability throughout the phase, with an unsettled back line exposing an area to be addressed ahead of future qualification cycles.

Tunisia's 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign marks the program's third consecutive finals appearance, following the 2022 tournament in Qatar, where Tunisia finished Group D with 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, 1 goal scored, and 2 goals conceded, narrowly missing the knockout stage on goal difference. The 2026 group stage's 2 goals across three matches (0.67 goals per match) show a marginal increase in scoring rate against that backdrop. The way was offset by a far weaker defensive record, with 12 goals conceded in 2026 compared to 2 in 2022 and zero clean sheets compared to 1. Faouzi Benzarti's squad struggled to replicate the compact defensive shape and possession retention (31% in 2026) seen under the previous coaching setup. The overall picture is one of a squad regressing sharply from a narrowly missed knockout berth toward a bottom-of-group elimination.
