The Tunisian national football team continues to climb in the FIFA world rankings. The latest ranking places the Eagles of Carthage at the 44th global position, a gain of three places from the previous edition. In Africa, Tunisia now holds the 7th position, behind Morocco, Senegal, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, and Ivory Coast.
A preparation that bears fruit
This progression can be explained by recent friendly matches played in Canada as part of the preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Tunisia first secured a narrow victory against Haiti (1-0), then achieved a draw (0-0) against Canada. These performances have helped the Eagles of Carthage strengthen their position internationally.
The Eagles of Carthage are now ranked 7th in Africa, behind Morocco (the top African team and 8th globally), Senegal (14th globally), Nigeria (26th globally), Algeria (29th globally), Egypt (31st globally), and Ivory Coast (34th globally).
Recent journey and prospects
Before these matches, Tunisia had a mixed record in the Arab Cup, with a win against Qatar (3-0), a defeat against Syria (0-1), and a draw against Palestine (2-2).
At the top of the global ranking, France takes the first place with 1877.32 points, surpassing Spain (1876.40 points), while Argentina completes the top three. Morocco remains the best African representative, ranking 8th globally.
