Less than an hour before kickoff, the Tunisian national team is gearing up for its third group stage match of the eleventh edition of the Arab Cup, facing off against host nation Qatar.

The Arab Cup Refereeing Commission has revealed the officiating crew assigned to oversee this high-stakes clash between Tunisia and Qatar. A Norwegian trio will take charge, led by referee Iskand Espen, with Engin Jan Erik and Bashivin Ishaq as assistants.

The Carthage Eagles currently sit third in their group with just one point, following a surprising defeat to Syria (1-0) and a thrilling draw with Palestine (2-2).

Qatar finds itself in a similar predicament: the Maroons also have one point, earned from a draw with Syria (1-1), before suffering a heavy loss to Palestine in the dying seconds of their last match.
