Understand why a Swedish player didn't celebrate a goal against Tunisia

Sweden is beating Tunisia 2-0 this Sunday (14), in a match valid for the first round of the 2026 World Cup. The first goal of the duel was scored by Yasin Ayari, who chose not to celebrate the feat.

Born in the city of Solna, Ayari is the son of a Tunisian father and a Moroccan mother. He started his career at Rasunda IS, a club in his homeland, and later transferred to AIK, one of the main teams in the European country.

His prominence in local football took him to Brighton & Hove Albion, the English team where he still plays today. Last season, the 22-year-old midfielder played 32 matches and scored four goals and three assists.

Despite his relationship with Tunisia, Yasin Ayari has represented the Swedish National Team at youth level since 2019. He debuted for the main team in January 2023, in a friendly against Finland.
