Tunisia coach Jalal Al-Qadri chose today, Monday, a final squad of 26 players to participate in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar next week, and included the name of Bilal Al-Ayfa, despite speculation that he would be excluded.
On Sunday, reports stated that Al-Aifa, the defender of the Kuwait Club, did not receive an invitation to join the Tunisia squad, which caused great anger among some fans on social media.
But in the end, Al-Qadri announced that Al-Ayfa would join the squad today.
Unusually, Al-Qadri chose four goalkeepers instead of three, with veteran Ayman Al-Mathlouthi (Al-Balbouli) alongside Ayman Dahman, Moez Hassan and Al-Bashir bin Saeed.
Al-Qadri maintained the main elements in the squad, with players such as Ali Maaloul, Naim Saliti, Wahbi Khazri and Youssef Msakni.
