Sami Trabelsi: We haven’t been able to win our first match in the Africa Cup of Nations since 2013
Experience and statistics don’t lie; even when we reached the semi-finals,
our start was always shaky due to several circumstances.
Tunisia boasts a perfect record in all previous official encounters against Uganda
winning all six matches played between the two sides,
with an aggregate score of 16-1. The Tunisian national team,
led by coach Sami Trabelsi, is aiming for its first victory
in the opening match of the continental tournament in several editions.
The Tunisian national team enters the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco,
seeking its second title in history amidst widespread public anticipation.
The Tunisian team hopes to go far in the continental tournament
after a series of disappointments in recent appearances, most notably an early exit from the previous edition.
The Tunisian national team recently participated in the 2025 Arab Cup
hosted by Qatar, but was eliminated in the first round.
Tunisia’s Africa Cup of Nations fixtures:

Morocco will host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in a tournament promising great excitement and entertainment
The tournament will feature the continent’s elite teams, most notably the host nation, the Atlas Lions, and the defending champions, Ivory Coast.
As is customary, the Arab presence will be strong in the competition.
Besides Morocco, the most decorated team in the tournament’s history, Egypt will participate, along with Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, and Comoros.
This will undoubtedly attract attention from across the Arab world, from the Atlantic to the Gulf.
Morocco hopes to crown its 2025 successes with the African Cup of Nations title, following its victories in the African Nations Championship (CHAN), the FIFA U-20 World Cup, and the Arab Cup.
However, the Atlas Lions’ task will be challenging, given the presence of other Arab teams and strong contenders for the title, such as Ivory Coast, Senegal, Nigeria, and others.
