Like at the Men's IHF World Championship two years ago, Tunisia finished 25th at Poland/Sweden 2023 and won the President's Cup. In the final match of the consolation trophy, the "Eagles of Carthage" defeated Chile by as many as 12 goals. 25/26 Placement Match Chile vs Tunisia 26:38 (10:24)
The winner of Group II has already been determined, as Tunisia, who have four points after two matches, are certain to fight for the President's Cup with Chile in the Placement Match 25/26. Their Monday rivals Algeria, in turn, have zero points and will finish last-placed in the group. North Macedonia and Morocco are level on two points, so both sides have something to fight for, as the winner of their encounter will finish second and proceed to the Placement Match 27/28.
The two teams, who had started the President's Cup with wins, hoped to achieve another success and Tunisia ultimately earned a victory. With four points, the African side have already secured a top position in Group II as they have a head-to-head advantage over North Macedonia and Morocco, who are tied on two points.

In their second match in Group H, Denmark will be heavily favoured to win against Bahrain, while Belgium will try to grab their maiden points at this level, playing against Tunisia.
Both teams had a chance to celebrate a victory in this exciting match, but it ended in a draw, and this result keeps both Bahrain and Tunisia in contention for the main round spots. Group H Bahrain vs Tunisia 27:27 (16:15)
