What is at stake for Tunisia and Japan?

Tunisia's journey at the 2026 World Cup will come to an end if they lose to Japan and then Netherlands overcome Sweden in the section's other match.

Herve Renard has been brought in to oversee the remainder of the World Cup following the shock sacking of Sabri Lamouchi after the opening match against Sweden, which ended in a 5-1 loss.

It would be some story if the 57-year-old could oversee a win for the African team over Japan, who will enter this game off the back of a 2-2 draw with Netherlands in their section opener.

Samurai Blue are currently second in the section on one point, two points behind leaders Sweden, and a win in this match would place them in an excellent spot heading into their final match of Group F, which comes against Sweden on June 25.
