The Tunisia national football team is seeking reform after an early exit from the 2026 World Cup following heavy defeats to Sweden and Japan. The team's poor performance has sparked widespread criticism. The Tunisian Football Federation is holding an emergency meeting on Sunday at the team's residence in Mexico to discuss the consequences of the early exit from the 2026 World Cup after two heavy defeats to Sweden and Japan. The Tunisia national football team is looking for reform after the early exit from the 2026 World Cup. According to Tunisian radio station Mosaic, the meeting comes amid unprecedented public pressure demanding the resignation of the current federation president, Maaz Nasser, and holding him responsible for the series of consecutive failures that have hit Tunisian football. The Tunisian national team fell in the first round against Sweden with a five-goal deficit, before receiving a fatal blow against Japan with a clean four-goal defeat in the second round, leaving the tournament from the group stage without any points. The sources did not reveal the nature of the expected decisions, but observers expect decisive measures in light of public anger demanding a new page to be opened through the election of a new federation and the launch of a comprehensive reform project to save Tunisian football. Nasser, who was elected in January 2025, bears the responsibility of three consecutive failures: the early exit from the 2025 Arab Cup, the elimination from the quarterfinals of the 2025 African Nations Cup, and then the humiliating exit from the 2026 World Cup after only two rounds, in the worst Tunisian participation in the tournament's history. Many are wondering about the future of the Tunisia national football team after these consecutive failures. It is worth noting that the Tunisia national football team is considered one of the best teams in Africa, but the consecutive failures have cast a shadow over the team's future.
