In the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage, Tunisia and Japan will meet at BBVA Stadium. The opponents previously faced each other at the same stage of the 2002 World Cup, when the Japanese side secured a 2-0 victory. In the following years, the teams played a series of friendly matches in which the Asian side won 1-0 and 2-0 in the fall of 2023. The Tunisian footballers managed to make a statement in June 2022, when they claimed a dominant 3-0 victory over the opponent in Suita.

Tunisia is participating in its seventh FIFA World Cup. During the qualification campaign, the team displayed exemplary defensive performances, conceding no goals and dropping points only in a 0-0 draw against Namibia. In attack, the standout performers were Mohamed Ben Romdhane, who scored four goals, and Ali Abdi, who recorded four goal contributions. At the beginning of the year, the national team appointed Sabri Lamouchi as head coach, with his only previous experience at national team level coming with Ivory Coast.
