The Tunisia national football team is facing an airport crisis affecting its journey to Brussels in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The Tunisian Football Federation announced that the "Eagles of Carthage" delegation would spend the night in the Austrian capital, Vienna, before traveling to Brussels on a newly secured flight after their original flight was delayed due to an airport staff strike. Despite this logistical change, the federation confirmed that the preparation program would not be altered. The coaching staff, led by coach Sabri Lamouchi, maintained the previously set program, giving players a full day of rest yesterday to recover after their recent friendly match against Austria. In that match, Tunisia lost to Austria 1-0, showing a mixed performance. Despite the numerical disadvantage faced by the Austrian team from the 37th minute, the Eagles failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage. This match is part of the final stretch of the national team's preparations for the 2026 World Cup, with the Eagles of Carthage set to face the Belgian national team in a second friendly match on June 6 at the King Baudouin Stadium.
