The fixture is scheduled for 6pm at the Ariana Municipal Stadium. The Mares are in a difficult position as they have to win by six clear goals and ensure they do not concede. Alex Malete's charges played to a goalless draw against Tanzania in the first game. The Mares have one point while the Twiga Stars lead the standings with four after thrashing the hosts, Tunisia 5-0 before the stalemate with Botswana. A Mares win over the Eagles of Carthage will take their points tally to four, but goal difference will then determine the tournament winners. The Tunis Women’s Cup forms part of the Mares preparations for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations finals to be hosted by Morocco in July, 2025.
