AFCON 2025 AFCON: Comoros Prepare for Tunisia Rematch

Comoros will host Tunisia at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Ivory Coast in what promises to be a thrilling encounter between two determined sides. With memories of their stunning victory over Tunisia still fresh, the Comoros team will enter the match full of belief, knowing they have what it takes to upset their more illustrious opponents once again. 

Comoros, who are steadily earning a reputation as “Giant-slayers,” have been one of the most exciting stories in African football. Their victory in Tunis sent shockwaves across the continent, leaving Tunisia wounded and desperate for redemption. The Coelacanths, however, understand that this rematch will be a much sterner test. Tunisia will come at them with everything, determined to reclaim their dominance and avoid further embarrassment. 

While Comoros is riding high on confidence, they are aware that Tunisia—like a wounded lion—will be hungry for revenge. Coach Stefano Cusin has emphasized the need for a cautious but bold approach, urging his players to remain disciplined at the back while looking for quick opportunities on the counter.

Tunisia, sitting at the top of the group, knows this match is critical to maintaining their leadership. After suffering an unexpected defeat at home, the Eagles of Carthage will approach the fixture with heightened focus and intensity. Coach Faouzi Benzarti is expected to field an attacking lineup, with the aim of asserting control early and forcing Comoros onto the back foot. 

Adding to the intrigue is the venue—the Felix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Ivory Coast, which serves as Comoros’ adopted home ground. While the stadium may not offer the same home-field advantage as playing in Moroni, the Coelacanths have adapted well to their circumstances, using adversity to fuel their growing momentum. 

The encounter also carries major implications for both teams’ AFCON qualification campaigns. With Tunisia leading the group and Comoros closely behind in second place, the outcome of this match could play a decisive role in determining who finishes at the summit. A win for Tunisia would solidify their position and likely guarantee qualification, while a victory for Comoros would not only keep their dream alive but also cement their status as a rising force in African football. 

Fans across the continent are eager to see how this captivating narrative unfolds. Will Tunisia reassert their dominance, or will Comoros pull off another upset and continue their giant-slaying journey? All eyes are set on the Felix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium as the two sides prepare for what promises to be an unforgettable clash. Match will be played at 7:00 PM GMT.
