Tunisia will be at the 2022 FIFA World Cup for the second consecutive edition and they will be desperate to improve on their performance from 2018.
They were grouped alongside Belgium, England and Panama at the tournament in Russia and had to settle for third spot, losing their opening two matches before recording a win against Panama in their final game.
Now, they have another crack at the World Cup and this time they will be up against France, Australia and Denmark in Group D.
Here are the 26 players tasked with doing the business.
GOALKEEPERS
Bechir Said may have more caps for the Tunisia national team, but Aymen Dahmen has been Tunisia's preferred option between the sticks most recently.
