Tunisia U18 women's handball team finishes 20th at World Championship

The Tunisian U18 women's national handball team concluded its participation in the World Championship in Romania, finishing in 20th place. The performance has sparked debate on social media, with some calls for the dismissal of coach Abdelmajid Gueddour, who has led the team through four years of preparation.

Observers note that the team faced highly competitive nations and lacked the consistency required to advance further. Experts suggest that additional tournament experience and more time to develop collective cohesion from individual talents are necessary for progress. There is also a call to maintain the current squad core, as several players are expected to transition to higher age categories.

Challenges regarding athlete development were also highlighted, specifically the difficulty of balancing rigorous training schedules with academic requirements. Decisions regarding coaching changes remain the responsibility of the Tunisian Handball Federation (FTHB), following evaluations by the national technical director.
