Moine Chaabani faces major challenges with Tunisia ahead of 2027 Africa Cup qualifiers Tunisia begins a new chapter under coach Moine Chaabani as 2027 Africa Cup qualifiers kick off in September. The team hosts Uganda in the first round before traveling to Botswana in the second. This challenge comes after a poor World Cup 2026 performance, where Tunisia finished fourth in their group with no points, losing their last three matches in a row. ## What challenges does Chaabani face? Attacking crisis The team struggles in attack, scoring only 2 goals in the World Cup while conceding 12. Louay Ben Ferehat is a potential option to boost the attack, but he refused to participate in the last World Cup amid rumors of switching to Morocco. Defensive leaks The defense has been shaky, conceding 12 goals in three World Cup matches, averaging 4 goals per game. Chaabani needs to strengthen this line before serious competition begins. ## How can these challenges be solved? Rebuilding team spirit The team has lacked cohesion in recent competitions, affecting results. Chaabani must motivate players and rebuild the fighting spirit. New tactical options Chaabani is expected to drop some players, like Mehdi Ben Chama, and look for new faces from the local league and promising talents. ## What’s next? Serious start With the 2027 Africa Cup qualifiers approaching, the team must address these issues quickly, especially after a poor World Cup 2026, where they lost their last five matches in a row.
