Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 4 

Tunisia wins: 0

Draws: 2

Netherlands wins: 2

Having played in only friendly matches before their World Cup 2026 encounter, the Netherlands got the better of Tunisia in their Group F fixture, leaving the eliminated North African nation winless.

An Ellyes Skhiri own goal after three minutes meant that the Carthage Eagles were playing catch-up, and Brian Brobbey doubled that lead just four minutes later.

Although Hazem Mastouri halved the deficit for the North African side after 54 minutes, Jan Paul van Hecke made sure of the Oranje's success by restoring their two-goal lead just after the hour mark.

Before their first competitive fixture, the Netherlands had won the first-ever clash between the two teams 4-0 back in 1978, but the two matches before their 2026 World Cup showing finished level - a 2-2 draw in January 1994 and a 1-1 draw in February 2009.
