Tunis – Murad El-Teyeb: Tunisia will end their World Cup preparations by hosting the LG friendly tournament next week, that will witness the participation of Libya, Belarus and Uruguay.

Tunisia just finished a 10-day training camp in the Swiss city of Neuchatel, where they won two friendly games against third-division amateur clubs.

French coach Roger Lemerre took advantage of the friendlies and worked on improving his players' fitness following the comeback of Hamed Namouchi, Mehdi Nafti, David Jemmali and Karim Hagui who had various injuries.

On the other hand, there was a general consensus that the Swiss camp was very useful for the team and that the atmosphere in Neuchatel was suitable for their current preparations.

Tunisia will face Belarus in their inaugural game of the LG tournament, that will be played between May 30th and June second, and it will be Lemerre's final opportunity to assess his players' fitness and technical readiness.
