Doha, Qatar – Tunisia faces Palestine today in a high-stakes Group A match at the FIFA Arab Cup 2025, with their tournament hopes hanging in the balance. The Eagles of Carthage are under immense pressure to rebound after a shocking 1-0 defeat to Syria in their opening game.

Former Arab Cup finalist and 1963 champion, Tunisia, now risks an early exit if they fail to secure a victory against a confident Palestine side. Head coach Sami Trabelsi labeled the loss to Syria as “painful” and urged his players to showcase their true potential.

Palestine, meanwhile, enters the match brimming with confidence after a historic 1-0 victory over host nation Qatar, their first-ever win in the competition. The dramatic stoppage-time win has boosted the team’s morale, and coach Ihab Abu Jazar believes his squad is ready for another upset.

A draw or another victory for Palestine would put them on the brink of qualifying for the quarter-finals. For Tunisia, a win is non-negotiable to keep their qualification hopes alive.

The match kicks off today at 9:30 AM ET and will be broadcast EXCLUSIVELY in the U.S. on beIN SPORTS with Arabic commentary.
