About Ivory Coast

Snapshot of Ivory Coast's 2026 squad and outlook.

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.
