History 🔢

This will be the third meeting in history between the two teams – all friendlies.

Playing on Tunisian soil, Brazil won in 1973 by 4-1. Goals by Paulo César Caju (two), Valdomiro, and Leivinha.

Then in 2022, in Paris, the victory was 5-1. Raphinha (two), Neymar, Richarlison, and Pedro scored in the last test before the Qatar World Cup.

Ancelotti had already anticipated a change compared to the starting eleven against Senegal.

Without Gabriel Magalhães, who was cut after a muscle injury in his right thigh, Éder Militão will return as center-back. Wesley starts at right back.

There was an expectation for at least a few more changes.

Which was confirmed.

Bento will be the goalkeeper. And Caio Henrique gets a chance at left back.

Tunisia 🇹🇳

The Carthage Eagles had the best campaign in the African Qualifiers.

They had nine wins and one draw in ten games in Group H.

They will play in the seventh World Cup in their history after appearances in 1978, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2018, and 2022.

This is the second time they have qualified for three consecutive World Cups. 

The main goal for 2026 will be to advance past the group stage for the first time. 

Their last match was a friendly against Namibia, which ended in a 3-0 victory.
