Tunisia's 2026 World Cup squad is officially confirmed, named by head coach Sabri Lamouchi on May 15, 2026. The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, seven defenders, seven midfielders and nine forwards. Tunisia is drawn into Group F, where it faces Netherlands, Japan and Sweden. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Montassar Talbi, with 943 minutes across 10 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Ellyes Skhiri on 924 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 8 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses, scoring 33 goals and conceding 35. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
