Tunisia announce unchanged roster for World Cup Qualifiers
YAOUNDE (FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 African Qualifiers) - Tunisia on Friday will open their FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 African Qualifiers campaign in Yaounde with the same roster that won the FIBA AfroBasket 2017 two months ago.
Although the North Africans spent most of a two-week training camp in Portugal with a 15-man preliminary squad, head coach Mario Palma decided to keep a group of players who defeated all their six opponents on home soil to claim their first African Championship title since 2011.
| Tunisia's final roster for FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 African Qualifiers - Group A | |||
| Omar Abada | Makram Ben Romdhane | Ziyed Chennoufi | Mourad El Mabrouk |
| Mokhtar Ghyaza | Bechir Hadidane | Mohamed Hadidane | Nizar Knioua |
| Firas Lahiani | Omar Mouhli | Radouhane Slimane | Mohamed Adam Rassil |
In Yaounde's Group A, which includes Guinea, Chad and hosts Cameroon, Tunisia will look - from November 24-26 - to finish among the top three teams in order to secure a place in the 12-team Second Round of the Qualifiers.
In the second phase of the Qualifiers, teams will play home and away games with the top two teams from each group and the best 3rd-place team booking their places for FIBA's flagship event, taking place from August 31 to September 15, 2019.
