Tunisian Federation Denies Visa Crisis Ahead of Brazil Friendly in France

The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) issued an official statement today, Saturday, categorically denying all rumors regarding the French Embassy's refusal to grant travel visas to Tunisian national team players for their friendly match against Brazil. The game is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, in Lille, France.

The FTF confirmed that all visa applications it submitted for players received full approval without any exceptions. The federation clarified that any absence of certain players from the trip is exclusively due to the FTF not submitting visa requests for them, in line with the technical staff's selections for this particular match.

The federation extended its sincere thanks and appreciation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Embassy in Tunis for their excellent cooperation and prompt response, emphasizing its commitment to overcoming all administrative obstacles for the Tunisian national team.
