Tunisia women's soccer team draws again with Egypt in friendlies

Tunisia's women's national football team secured another draw against Egypt, with the second friendly match ending 2-2. This result mirrors the outcome of their first encounter on Friday, which concluded in a 1-1 tie. Both matches were played in Egypt as part of the Tunisian team's preparation for upcoming major tournaments.

The team is gearing up for the qualification rounds of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games and the 2027 Africa Women Cup of Nations. Tunisia has received a bye in the first round of Olympic qualifiers and is set to compete in the second round against Senegal in a two-legged tie scheduled for October 5 and 13, 2026.

Should Tunisia advance past Senegal, they will face the winner of the match between Benin and Mali in the subsequent round. The final stages of Olympic qualification are spread across several dates in 2027, with the ultimate goal of securing one of the two berths available for the Olympic Games.

Earlier in April, the Tunisian squad played two other friendly matches under national coach Walid Garroum. They achieved victories against Benin, with a goal from Meriem Houij, and against Comoros, scoring through Noura Nehili and Chaïma Abbassi. These preparatory matches are crucial for building team cohesion and strategy ahead of their competitive campaigns.
