World Cup 2026: Tunisia Faces Walkover Threat In Final Group Game

The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia are facing the possibility of a walkover in their final group-stage match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to reported visa complications, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

According to reports emerging from the Tunisian camp, the team may be unable to honour their decisive Group Stage fixture against Netherlands in the United States unless urgent measures are taken to resolve the situation.

The development represents another setback for Tunisia, who have already endured a disappointing campaign at the tournament. 

The North Africans suffered defeats in their opening two matches against Sweden and Japan, leaving their hopes of progressing from the group in serious doubt.

With the clash against the Netherlands expected to be their final outing at the tournament, uncertainty now surrounds whether the Carthage Eagles will be able to take to the field.

Officials are reportedly working to address the visa issues, but time is running out ahead of the crucial encounter. 

Should the matter remain unresolved, Tunisia could be forced to forfeit the match, handing the Dutch a walkover victory.
