On the other hand, Tunisia made a bold statement by defeating Uganda 3-1 in their opener, showcasing their intent and seriousness about qualifying for the next round, as confirmed by a staff member who commented, “We want to confirm.”
The match is scheduled to take place at the Complexe Sportif de Fès in Morocco, kicking off at 21:00 local time, which aligns with French, Tunisian, and Nigerian time zones.
