Each bar is the team’s rank within its own competition — Japan: World Cup Qualification AFC 2023/2025; Tunisia: World Cup Qualification CAF 2023/2025. A longer bar is a stronger standing; because the two competitions differ, only relative standing is comparable, not raw numbers. Style data via FotMob.
