Twenty-three years after their last friendly encounter (a 1-0 Tunisian victory), Tunisia and Sweden meet again this Monday, June 15 at 2 a.m. GMT in Monterrey, kicking off Group F action at the World Cup.

Compared to the last AFCON, Tunisia arrives with a host of changes. Ben Saïd, Meriah, Maaloul, Sassi, Ben Romdhane, and Jaziri were not selected by Sabri Lamouchi, while Sliti has retired from international football. The new generation is ready to step up, with several young talents like Gharbi, Mejbri, Tounekti, and others.
