National Team Goalkeeper Béchir Ben Saïd Sets Sights on Unbeaten Streak
The national team's goalkeeper, Béchir Ben Saïd, has announced his objective for the remaining two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup.
Quote from Béchir Ben Saïd
"It is true that we have secured our qualification to the World Cup, and we will make sure to preserve our unbeaten streak. This is our goal for the two remaining qualifying matches, which we will play with the same desire and determination to win," said Béchir Ben Saïd.
The goalkeeper's enthusiasm reflects his determination and that of his teammates to perform well and conclude the World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign on a positive note. Additionally, achieving a World Cup qualifying campaign without conceding a single goal would be a remarkable performance that Aymen Dahmen and his teammates could etch in their record books forever.
Cherni Replaces Ben Ouanes
The national team has suffered an injury setback. Mortadha Ben Ouanes, who is injured, has been replaced by Mohamed Amine Cherni. Ben Ouanes will miss the last two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, scheduled to take place against São Tomé and Principe tomorrow (5:00 PM) and against Namibia on Monday (2:00 PM).
The national team's training session began on Sunday in Gammarth with a strength training session instead of a retreat. Eight players participated in the session, including Aïssa Laïdouni, Naïm Sliti, Ferjani Sassi, Montassar Talbi, Firas Chaouat, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, Firas Belarbi, and Noureddine Farhati. The team has been complete since the day before yesterday.
Youssef Snana Faces Potential Sanctions
FIFA has ruled in favor of the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) regarding the Youssef Snana case, stating that the procedures for summoning the player and his club were correct and binding. The player's refusal to join the national team exposes him to automatic sanctions under international regulations.
It is worth noting that Youssef Snana has refused to join the national team's gathering, which began on Sunday in Gammarth. This is the second time he has refused a call-up, having previously declined an invitation to join the national team in September.
