Sami Trabelsi Excludes Nahdat Berkane Defender Oussama Haddadi from Tunisia Squad for Brazil Clash

The Tunisian Football Federation announced that the decision to exclude Nahdat Berkane player Oussama Haddadi from the national team squad for the friendly match against Brazil, scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, came directly from national team coach Sami Trabelsi as part of his tactical choices.

The Federation confirmed that Haddadi was among eight players who did not travel to France, not due to any visa issues, but rather according to Trabelsi's technical selections. It also noted that all visa applications submitted to the Federation were approved without exception.

Haddadi had recently participated in the friendly matches against Mauritania (1-1) and Jordan (3-2). His exclusion is considered surprising by national team followers and raises questions about the tactical adjustments Trabelsi has adopted for the upcoming clash against the Seleção.
