Sweden and Tunisia will open their Group F campaigns at the 2026 World Cup when they meet at BBVA Stadium in Monterrey, Mexico, on Monday (15/6) at 09.00 WIB. It will be the first meeting between the two teams at a World Cup finals and an important match in a group that also includes the Netherlands and Japan. Sweden are back at the World Cup after missing the 2022 edition and will rely on attackers Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, with their main squad reported fit. Tunisia come in with a strong African qualifying record of nine wins and one draw without conceding, but their preparations were disrupted after a 0-5 loss to Belgia in their final warm-up match.
