Tounekti was born in Tromsø.[1] He made his senior debut for Tromsdalen on 30 September 2018 against Ullensaker/Kisa; Tromsdalen won 3–0.
He made his senior debut for Bodø/Glimt on 16 June 2020 against Viking; Bodø/Glimt won 4–2. He scored his first and only goal in October 2020 against Molde. Tounekti and George Lewis were both players at Tromsdalen who were discovered by clubs other than Tromsdalen's larger neighbour Tromsø IL, the failure to pick them up being lamented by Tromsø fans.[2]

He was called up to represent the senior Tunisia national team on 19 March 2021.[4] He debuted with Tunisia in a 3–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Mauritania on 7 October 2021.[5]
