Wahbi Khazri Tops Tunisia's All-Time World Cup Scorers List

As the Tunisian national team approaches its participation in the 2026 World Cup, the discussion returns to the most prominent names that have left their scoring mark in the history of the "Carthage Eagles" during their previous participations in the global tournament.

Wahbi Khazri is considered the all-time top scorer for the Tunisian national team in the World Cup finals, having scored three goals across two different tournaments, making him the leading scorer for Tunisia in the World Cup.

Khazri's first goals came during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when he scored against both Belgium and Panama, before adding a third goal in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar during the historic victory over the French team in the group stage.

Behind Khazri, the list of Tunisia's goal scorers in the World Cup includes several players, each of whom has scored one goal and contributed to writing significant chapters in the team's history in the tournament.

In Tunisia's first appearance at the World Cup during the 1978 Argentina edition, Ali Kaabi, Najib Ghmid, and Mokhtar Dhouib scored goals for the "Carthage Eagles," in a participation that marked the first Arab and African victory in the history of the World Cup.

During the 1998 World Cup in France, Iskander Souayah added his name to the list of goal scorers, before Raouf Bouzaiene scored Tunisia's only goal in the 2002 South Korea and Japan edition.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, goals were scored by Ziad Jaziri, Radhi Jaidi, and Jawhar Mnari, while the 2018 Russia edition saw Fakhreddine Ben Youssef join the list of the team's scorers in the tournament.

As Tunisia prepares for a new edition of the World Cup, the Tunisian sports community is eagerly anticipating the emergence of new names capable of boosting the national team's goal tally and competing with Wahbi Khazri for the top spot among the historical goal scorers for the "Carthage Eagles" in the tournament.

The draw resulted in the "Eagles of Carthage" being placed in Group F alongside the teams of the Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden. This group appears to be relatively evenly matched, which opens the door to all possibilities in the race for qualification.
