After their early exit from the 2025 Arab Nations Cup, Tunisia wasted no time refocusing on their next major challenge, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. 

Determined to bounce back stronger, manager Sami Trabelsi and his technical crew have finalized a comprehensive preparation program aimed at sharpening the squad before the continental showpiece.

One of the standout matches of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations group stage sees the Super Eagles face Tunisia at Fez Stadium, Fez, on December 27.

The North African giants will begin their Afcon buildup at the end of this week, following a clearly structured timetable released by the Tunisian Football Federation.

Trabelsi will unveil the official roster for Afcon 2025 during a press conference on December 11. 

The announcement is highly anticipated as fans await to see which players will make the final cut after the team's disappointing Arab Nations Cup campaign.

The Tunisian national team will kick off its training camp in Tabarka on Friday, December 12. 

On Thursday, December 18, Tunisia will play a closed-door friendly against Botswana in Tabarka. 

The match will not have spectators in attendance and will not be broadcast, a decision likely made to allow the coaching staff to experiment freely with tactics and player combinations.

A day after the friendly, the Carthage Eagles will depart for Morocco, where they will enter the final phase of their preparations before the tournament begins.
