The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia have etched their name into the football history books, becoming the first nation ever to complete a FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign without conceding a single goal.
Over the course of 10 matches, Tunisia demonstrated an extraordinary blend of defensive discipline and attacking precision — scoring 22 goals while maintaining a perfect clean-sheet record throughout the qualifiers.
This remarkable feat highlights the tactical brilliance of Tunisia’s coaching staff and the unwavering consistency of their defensive unit, led by captain Yassine Meriah and goalkeeper Bechir Ben Said.
With this record-setting performance, Tunisia not only sealed their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup but also set a new global benchmark for defensive excellence in international football.
Speaking after their final group match, head coach Jalel Kadri praised his team’s commitment:
“Our players showed focus, unity, and belief from start to finish. To go ten games without conceding is something truly special — a proud moment for Tunisia and all of Africa.”
The Carthage Eagles now shift focus to the 2026 tournament, carrying momentum, confidence, and the pride of an entire continent on their shoulders.
