The list of World Cup 2026 eliminated countries has grown after Tunisia became the latest team to crash out of the tournament following a heavy defeat to Japan.
The North African side suffered a 4-0 loss to Japan at Estadio Monterrey in Guadeloupe, a result that confirmed their elimination from the competition. With zero points from two Group F matches, Tunisia can no longer qualify for the Round of 32.
Their exit comes after an earlier 5-1 defeat to Sweden, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the group standings.
