| Team | Points | Goal Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Palestine | 4 | (+1) |
| Syria | 4 | (+1) |
| Tunisia | 1 | (-1) |
| Qatar | 1 | (-1) |
Upcoming Match Against Qatar

Scenarios for Qualification
Tunisia’s route to the quarter-finals hinges on several key factors:
- If Tunisia loses or draws against Qatar, they will be eliminated from the tournament.
- A victory over Qatar is necessary, but it is not the sole requirement for advancement.
- The Palestine versus Syria match must not end in a draw for Tunisia to have a chance.
- Tunisia must also improve their goal difference to surpass the loser of the Palestine–Syria match.
The upcoming days are pivotal for Tunisia as they aim to turn their fortunes around and secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Arab Cup.
