After Morocco’s elimination, it’s time for the disciplinary overview of the African teams at this World Cup 2026.

Thanks to exemplary discipline, Tunisia finishes the 2026 World Cup as the most fair-play African team, ahead of Algeria and Senegal.

The Eagles of Carthage stand out with a single yellow card and no red cards in three matches, making the Eagles of Carthage one of the most fair-play teams in the entire tournament.

At the other end of the standings, Egypt proved to be the most sanctioned African team with twelve yellow cards and one red card, after a five-match journey particularly lively on the disciplinary front.
