Tunisia's preparations for their next 2026 FIFA World Cup match have been thrown into turmoil following a deepening crisis within the country's football federation, BSNSports.com.ng reports 

Reports indicate that the President of the Tunisian Football Federation, Moez Nasri, has been absent amid the growing unrest, while Vice President Hussein Jenayah has also reportedly been out of contact for several days.

The situation has raised concerns within Tunisian football circles, with federation official Zied Jaziri attempting to calm tensions through a series of media appearances and public interventions.

With the leadership vacuum persisting, the Presidency of the Republic has reportedly stepped in to oversee and manage the situation as efforts continue to restore stability within the federation.

The crisis comes at a crucial time for the North African nation as the Carthage Eagles prepare for their next World Cup fixture against Japan.
