Tunisia Qualifies for 2026 World Cup After Late Win

Tunisia secured their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a dramatic 1-0 stoppage-time victory over Equatorial Guinea in Malabo, thanks to a 94th-minute goal by Mohamed Ben Romdhane. This win guarantees Tunisia the top spot in Group H with two games remaining, moving them 10 points clear of second-placed Namibia. The North African team, coached by Sami Trabelsi, have qualified for their seventh World Cup and will be appearing in the tournament for the third consecutive time, having not conceded a goal in the qualifiers so far. Goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen played a crucial role, making several key saves to maintain Tunisia's lead throughout the match. Tunisia is the second African nation to qualify after Morocco, who secured their spot earlier. Meanwhile, Equatorial Guinea's hopes of qualification depend on a pending appeal regarding FIFA sanctions, and other African qualification battles continue, with teams like Ghana and Madagascar fighting for their places in different groups.
