Ivory Coast enters the 2026 World Cup with a blend of pride, power, and ambition. Established as one of Africa’s most consistent sides, the Elephants aim to make a mark among the world’s elite. Their style merges physical strength, refined technique, and an increasingly mature identity.
Their World Cup story began in 2006 and has shown steady growth. Icons like Didier Drogba, Yaya Touré, and Kolo Touré led a golden generation that inspired the nation. Now, a hungry new wave carries the torch.
In 2026, Ivory Coast leans on Sébastien Haller, Franck Kessié, and Nicolas Pépé, blending experience and youth. Experts view the Elephants as a real threat, capable of surpassing past ceilings and writing history.
