Sunday 11-01-2026
Hannibal Mejbri's statements after Tunisia's elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations became widely discussed in the global press, after the midfielder expressed his anger and disappointment with the overall performance, confirming that the national team "did not do enough" and that what was presented does not meet the ambitions of the Tunisian fans.

Major French media outlets such as RMC Sport and France 24 highlighted the severity of his statements and described them as "shocking," pointing to his unusual frankness following the exit against Mali in the round of 16. Meanwhile, other platforms viewed his words as reflecting the frustration of an entire generation within the national team.

On the other hand, opinions were divided between those who considered Hannibal's statements courageous and necessary to start correcting the course, and those who saw them as increasing tensions within the Tunisian football community at a sensitive time.

Despite the controversy, it remains certain that Hannibal Mejbri succeeded in shedding global light on the reality of the Tunisian national team, opening the door to discussions about responsibilities and the need for review before upcoming commitments.
