Japan and Tunisia face off in a Group F match that will define the 2026 World Cup at the BBVA Stadium in Monterrey, Mexico. Tunisia find themselves looking towards the end after a bitter first round defeat that led to an emergency replacement on the bench, while Japan look to take the lead from the start.
A new coach in the middle of a high-stakes tournament is never good news, but the Tunisian Football Federation had seen enough with a 5-1 loss to Sweden to replace Sabri Lamouchi with former Saudi Arabia coach Herve Renard. The Águilas de Cartago remained undefeated in the CAF qualifying phase, scoring 22 goals and conceding none, but now face an arduous task if they are to advance from the group for the first time.
Japan, on the other hand, lived up to its dark horse status by showing immense discipline against the Netherlands. Hajime Moriyasu’s men held out a hard-fought 2-2 draw after goals from Keito Nakamura and Daichi Kamada tied the Samurai Blue after twice trailing.
Having beaten Brazil and England in the last 12 months, Japan will be confident of getting the full three points against Tunisia, but even a draw could further complicate matters in a relatively close group.
