A squad fired up for the competition

Just before departure, the Tunisian champions appeared calm and excited in images shared on the club’s social networks. Having qualified as Africa’s third-best team between 2020 and 2024, according to FIFA rankings, ES Tunis is aiming for a strong run against top-level opponents. The Tunisian side will compete in Group D, alongside Chelsea (England), Flamengo (Brazil), and Los Angeles FC (United States).

To bolster their ranks for this tournament, the Blood and Gold have done everything possible to secure the signing of Omar Al-Somah. The Syrian international, who currently plays for Al-Orobah FC in Saudi Arabia, has caught the eye of ES Tunis with his impressive performances.
