Tunisia was eliminated from the World Cup 2026. Renard couldn’t save them. The match ahead is meanin…
Tunisia was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup already after the second round of group matches. The emergency personnel changes at the coaching staff – with Adel Lammouche’s resignation and Yves Renard’s appointment as new coach – failed to turn the situation around and prevent Tunisia from being eliminated early in the tournament.
The upcoming match against the Netherlands has completely lost its significance as a competitive match. For the North African team, this becomes a purely prestige match. Meanwhile, the Dutch team will have the opportunity to test their tactics in comfortable conditions before the playoffs.
It’s worth noting that Tunisians have written their names into the annals of World Cup disappointments. They became the fourth team in history to suffer two consecutive losses, with a score difference of at least four goals. This result reveals systemic problems in the team’s preparation, and requires a thorough analysis by the national football federation. Tunisia will face not only a formal match, but also a serious effort to correct its mistakes before the next qualifying cycle.
