Tunisia Stunned at Home by Comoros in CAN 2025 Qualifiers
In a surprising turn of events, Tunisia, a powerhouse in African football, faced a shocking defeat at home against the Comoros, losing 1-0 in their latest qualifying match for the African Cup of Nations (CAN) 2025. The match took place in Radès, where the Carthage Eagles, who had previously secured victories against Madagascar and Gambia, were looking to solidify their position in Group A.
