DESCRIPTION:Japan face Tunisia in a Group F fixture at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The AFC and CAF representatives meet at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe on the outskirts of Monterrey\, Mexico\, in a tactical clash between two technically accomplished sides. \nWhat is the FIFA World Cup 2026?\nThe 2026 FIFA World Cup is the 23rd edition of the tournament and the first to feature 48 nations. The format consists of 12 groups of four\, with the top two from each group and the eight best third-placed sides progressing to a round of 32.

It is one of three Mexican venues hosting 2026 World Cup matches. \nKey Contenders\nJapan have become one of Asia’s strongest sides\, famously beating both Germany and Spain on their way to the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup. Under Hajime Moriyasu\, the Samurai Blue feature Kaoru Mitoma\, Wataru Endo\, Takefusa Kubo and Ritsu Doan\, backed by goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. \nTunisia return to the World Cup as a regular African qualifier. The Carthage Eagles are built on defensive organisation and the experience of captain Youssef Msakni and midfielder Ellyes Skhiri. Tunisia have appeared at six previous World Cups but never progressed past the group stage. \nHow to Watch\nIn the United Kingdom\, the BBC and ITV share live coverage with streams via BBC iPlayer and ITVX.
