Ivory Coast face Norway in the Round of 32 on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Ivory Coast are ranked #33 in the world and managed by Emerse Faé; Norway sit at #31 under Ståle Solbakken. The match kicks off at 17:00 local time at MetLife Stadium in New York / New Jersey.
Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast, the reigning 2024 AFCON champions on home soil, arrive at World Cup 2026 under coach Emerse Faé with a wave of confidence and momentum. Les Éléphants have a proud but frustrating World Cup history - qualified four times but never advanced beyond the group stage, despite the quality of their players in the Didier Drogba era. This squad, led by Borussia Dortmund striker Sébastien Haller and supported by former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pépé and Barcelona's Franck Kessié, looks capable of finally breaking that group-stage glass ceiling. Group E opponents Germany, Ecuador, and Curaçao make this the most competitive group of Ivory Coast's World Cup history.
Read Ivory Coast preview →Norway
Norway arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with one of the most explosive striker-playmaker partnerships in world football - Manchester City's Erling Haaland, the most prolific scorer in Premier League history, and Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard as the creative fulcrum. The Viking warriors' return to the World Cup stage ends a 28-year absence since France 1998, and there is genuine excitement about what this Norwegian generation can achieve on the biggest stage. Group I against France, Senegal, and Iraq is a challenging draw, but Norway have the firepower to beat anyone on their day. If Haaland stays fit and Ødegaard delivers, Norway could be a genuine dark-horse contender for the knockout rounds.
