Cote d’Ivoire arrives with a proud, physical style and a history full of star power, from Didier Drogba’s era to today’s next wave. The Elephants made three straight World Cup appearances in 2006, 2010 and 2014, scoring 13 goals across those trips. They also carry real continental credibility after winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 1992, 2015 and again at home in 2023, a reminder that this program knows how to handle pressure.

Cote d'Ivoire Group Stage

Cote d’Ivoire’s group stage takes fans to two marquee North American venues, starting with the big-bowl feel of Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The route also includes BMO Field in Toronto, a tight, crowd-forward setting that is being expanded for 2026. These cities make it easy to build a full soccer weekend around your match, with plenty of opportunities to catch other nations in town as schedules overlap, including Canada and Brazil.
