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.

Tunisia penalty taker
Our final filed Tunisia hierarchy for World Cup 2026 had Elias Achouri first, with Ismael Gharbi as the closest backup.
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.

Why the board looks like this
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.
