Tunisia's national soccer team suffered a 5-1 loss to Sweden in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, resulting in the immediate dismissal of head coach Sabri Lamouchi. The defeat marked a disappointing start to the tournament for Tunisia, as Sweden dominated the match with strong offensive play.
Goals from Yasin Ayari, Alexander Isak, and Viktor Gyokeres propelled Sweden to a commanding victory. The lopsided result prompted Tunisian football officials to act swiftly, removing Lamouchi from his position following the team's poor performance.
