Qatar 2022: Kazhri Calls Time On His International Career

Tunisia narrowly missed qualifying for the second round of the World Cup despite a historic victory against France on the third day of the group stage.

Montpellier winger Wahbi Kazhri put a cap on his international career via beIn Sport. “I told the group yesterday (Wednesday, editor’s note) after the match, at the hotel, in a meeting. I think it’s the right time, after 5 African Cups and 2 World Cups”, explained the former Saints Etienne man. “I made my parents, my family, my wife and my children proud. Playing for my country was exceptional. I made the Tunisian people proud, I think. Ending with a victory against the French team is one of the most beautiful moments of my career.

There is no better way to sign out than scoring a goal against world champions France, and winning the man of the match award. Wahbi Khazri has become a legend in Tunisia with 74 caps, 25 goals and 14 assists. In the World Cup, he entered the history of his country by being the architect of two prestigious victories. His goal against Panama (2-1) at the 2018 World Cup, allowed his country to win their second game in the history of the competition, 40 years after the first. In 2022, he again scored the only goal against France allowing Tunisia to win for the first time in an official match against les Blues
