Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi has named his final 28-man squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, opting for continuity while making targeted adjustments ahead of a tournament the Carthage Eagles hope will reignite their competitive edge on the continental stage.
The squad sees the return of influential midfielders Ellyes Skhiri and Hannibal Mejbri, who both missed the side’s recent outings.
Their reinstatement restores vital balance and creativity to a team set to face Uganda, Nigeria and Tanzania in a challenging Group C.
Trabelsi’s selection keeps faith with the core of players who featured in November’s international matches, with the goalkeeping department remaining unchanged.
Aymen Dahmen, Bechir Ben Saïd, Noureddine Farhati and Sabri Ben Hassen form a settled quartet, with Ben Hassen returning after missing the Arab Cup due to injury.
Defensively, the coach has opted for stability blended with strategic reinforcements.
Regular starters Yassine Meriah, Montassar Talbi, Dylan Bronn, Ali Maâloul and Ali Abdi all keep their places, while Adem Arous and Nader Ghandri return to the national fold after missing the Qatar tournament.
