The Tunisian national team has officially revealed its 28-man squad for the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, with head coach Sami Trabelsi opting for a balanced mix of seasoned leaders and rising stars. Twenty-one years after their historic 2004 triumph, the Eagles of Carthage hope to reclaim continental glory.
Trabelsi’s list highlights a clear sporting project: a disciplined defensive block led by Ali Abdi, the return of captain Ferjani Sassi as the midfield anchor, and the creativity of Hannibal Mejbri and Ismaël Gharbi to inject fresh attacking ideas.
A Bold Squad for a High-Stakes Tournament
Tunisia face a challenging Group C alongside Nigeria, Uganda and Tanzania, making every match decisive. Nigeria remain the heavyweight, but Trabelsi’s men—with renewed determination after the frustrations of the previous edition—aim to re-establish Tunisia among Africa’s elite.
With the tournament taking place in Morocco, a country prepared to vibrate to the rhythm of the CAN, the Eagles know that tactical discipline and mental resilience will be key to advancing. Outsiders like Uganda and Tanzania will look to disrupt the hierarchy, but Tunisia enter the tournament with the ambition of deep progress.
