Under the guidance of head coach Faé Emerse, Ivory Coast have been steadily building a competitive squad capable of challenging established footballing nations. Their roster features players who ply their trade in top leagues around the world, bringing tactical awareness and big-game experience back to the national setup.

Every match at the World Cup is an opportunity to write history, and this squad has the talent and determination to produce memorable performances.

2026 World Cup Prediction

Ranked #39 by FIFA, Ivory Coast enter the 2026 World Cup as a competitive participant. Under the tactical direction of Faé Emerse, the team has shown promising form and competitive discipline in recent qualifying campaigns. Based on current rankings and squad performances, their group-stage outlook is challenging, but still open. While they may not be among the outright favorites, the World Cup has a long tradition of producing upsets and breakthrough performances from underdog teams. The 2026 World Cup's expanded 48-team format means the top two teams from each group and the eight best third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32. If Ivory Coast can deliver in the decisive group-stage matches, a place in the elimination rounds is well within reach. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if this squad can produce a tournament to remember.

Group Stage Analysis

Ivory Coast have been drawn into Group , where they will face Algeria (FIFA #33), Switzerland (FIFA #15), Sweden (FIFA #23), Czechia (FIFA #36), Austria (FIFA #22), Egypt (FIFA #35), Haiti (FIFA #52), Bosnia-Herzegovina (FIFA #53), Cape Verde Islands (FIFA #54), Congo DR (FIFA #47), Qatar (FIFA #48), Jordan (FIFA #51), Iraq (FIFA #50), Uzbekistan (FIFA #49), Norway (FIFA #38), Scotland (FIFA #37), Curaçao (FIFA #55).

The 2026 World Cup introduces a new 48-team format with groups of four, where the top two teams and the eight best third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32. The opening match matters: a strong start can establish confidence and rhythm, while the new qualification rules make every group-stage point valuable. Ivory Coast must settle quickly and set the tone early. Squad depth, rotation management and adaptability across different venues and conditions will be equally important. Regardless of rankings, the World Cup group stage never fails to deliver surprises — every matchday has the potential to reshape the qualification picture.
