World Cup 2026 is complete. This page preserves the final hierarchy filed on 3 June 2026 and the evidence available at that point. Verified tournament penalty outcomes will be added as a separate audit layer rather than rewritten into the original call.

Quick Answer

Who is Tunisia's penalty taker?

Our final filed Tunisia hierarchy had Elias Achouri first, with Ismael Gharbi next in line.

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 final tournament-cycle answer we filed. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order was published.

Evidence Trail

Why the board looks like this

1
24 Mar 2025: CAF and Il Margine audit both show Elias Achouri converted Tunisia's stoppage-time in-match penalty against Malawi.
2
31 Dec 2025: CAF reported Ismael Gharbi converted Tunisia's in-match penalty against Tanzania at AFCON 2025.
3
Il Margine audit's substitution log shows Elias Achouri only went off in the 52nd minute, so he was still on the pitch when Gharbi took the penalty in the 43rd minute.
4
8 Sep 2025: Tunisia beat Equatorial Guinea 1-0 through Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, but the winner did not come from the spot, so it did not clarify the order further.
5
Current working view: Achouri still has the cleaner World Cup-qualifying signal, but Gharbi's AFCON penalty while Achouri was still on the pitch is strong enough to make Tunisia a reviewed medium-confidence board rather than a holdout.

Internal hierarchy checks

We keep the public archive focused on the filed primary, closest backup and the match evidence that shaped the hierarchy.

The internal file stays broader so we can re-check squad context, event timing and backup pressure without turning the page into a raw research appendix.

Keep moving through the board: the team pages are ordered so the whole World Cup field is easy to review country by country.
