Tunisia penalty taker

Elias Achouri is our current Tunisia penalty taker call, with Ismael Gharbi next in line if the order changes.

Tunisia is now strong enough for a medium reviewed call, but the hierarchy is genuinely split. Elias Achouri converted Tunisia's World Cup qualifying penalty against Malawi in March 2025, but Ismael Gharbi then took and scored Tunisia's AFCON 2025 penalty against Tanzania in December while Achouri was still on the pitch. That keeps Achouri as the best current lead on the World Cup-qualifying evidence, with Gharbi now a very strong secondary and the clearest threat to flip the order.

If you searched for Tunisia penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Elias Achouri is the current first-choice call for Tunisia, with Ismael Gharbi the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
