Tunisia endured a difficult final warm-up match ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, falling 5–0 to Belgium in a one-sided encounter that exposed several defensive weaknesses.
The Carthage Eagles have now gone three matches without a win, recording one draw and two defeats in that run as concerns grow over their form heading into the tournament.
Belgium took control midway through the first half when Leandro Trossard opened the scoring.
The advantage was doubled shortly after the restart by Charles De Ketelaere, putting Tunisia under increasing pressure.
The situation worsened for Tunisia when Ismael Gharbi was sent off just after the hour mark following a second yellow card, leaving his side to play the remainder of the match with 10 men.
With the numerical advantage, Belgium ran riot in the closing stages. Kevin De Bruyne added a third before Dodi Lukebakio got on the scoresheet, and Olivier Raskin completed the emphatic victory.
Tunisia will head into the World Cup still searching for their first win in three games, but they remain in Group F alongside Sweden, Japan, and the Netherlands.
The North Africans will begin their campaign on June 15 against Sweden as they prepare for their seventh World Cup appearance since their debut in 1978.
Despite their long history at the tournament, Tunisia are still chasing a first-ever progression beyond the group stage.
