Tunisia take on Sweden in a Group F fixture at the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Monday 15 June 2026, with Estadio BBVA in Monterrey hosting the North African and Scandinavian sides. Both teams open their tournament with a group where the Netherlands and Japan complete the four-nation pool.
What is FIFA World Cup 2026?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the 23rd edition of the men’s global football championship, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. For the first time the tournament features 48 teams split into 12 groups of four. The top two from each group, together with the eight best third-placed finishers, progress to a 32-team knockout stage.
Group F is a balanced pool with no clear favourite, meaning the Tunisia-Sweden result could shape both sides’ qualification prospects.
When is Tunisia vs Sweden?
Tunisia vs Sweden is scheduled for Monday 15 June 2026 with a late kick-off in local Central Time (03:00 BST on Tuesday 16 June). It is the final match of a busy opening round of Group F fixtures.
Where is Tunisia vs Sweden?
The match is staged at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, near Monterrey in northeastern Mexico. Home to Liga MX side Monterrey, the stadium has a capacity of around 53,500 and is one of three Mexican venues for the 2026 tournament, alongside Estadio Azteca in Mexico City and Estadio Akron in Guadalajara.
Key Contenders
Sweden reached the World Cup via the UEFA playoff path, defeating Poland after finishing bottom of their qualifying group. Under their head coach, the Blagult will rely on experienced forwards including Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, who provide one of the most potent attacking pairings in the tournament on paper. Sweden’s best recent World Cup run was a quarter-final in 2018.
Tunisia qualified through African Zone group play and return to the World Cup off the back of group-stage appearances in 2018 and 2022. The Eagles of Carthage are organised defensively and tough to break down, though they have traditionally struggled to score at major tournaments. Any result against Sweden would be a significant boost to their campaign.
