Tunisia on the verge of World Cup qualification

Malawi handed Tunisia a wonderful gift by defeating Namibia 2-1 in a match counting for the 7th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
This unexpected feat worked wonders for the North African side, which now leads its closest pursuer in Group H, Namibia, by seven points.
Barring a dramatic turn of events, the Carthage Eagles should not let the ticket to the next edition of the 2026 World Cup slip away, with the final tournament set to take place in North America (Mexico, United States, and Canada).
A potential victory for Tunisia against Equatorial Guinea in the 8th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers would secure their ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
Even a draw could be enough, if Namibia fails to win against Sao Tome and Principe.
