Ivory Coast 2026 World Cup Stats
Three-times AFCON champions Ivory Coast arrive at the 2026 World Cup carrying significant momentum and confidence. The Elephants enjoyed a remarkable 2-1 victory over France in a warm-up game on June 6 and will fancy their chances against a number of World Cup outright favourites.
They also saw off Scotland at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in a friendly back in March. And having qualified with considerable ease from the CAF section, many will mark the West Africans as genuine World Cup dark horses. After all, with the abundance of quality in their ranks, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Emerse Fae’s side go deep into the tournament.
Ivory Coast have never advanced past the group stages but with the likes of Simon Adingra, captain Franck Kessie and Man United’s Amad Diallo to call upon, the general feeling in their camp is that 2026 will be the year they create history.
