Ivory Coast aims high for 2030

The Ivory Coast national team could well be Africa's best hope for the 2030 World Cup, to be held in Morocco. Despite a recent 1-2 loss to Norway on June 30, 2026, the Ivorian squad shows promising signs.

Why is Ivory Coast a favorite?

Ivory Coast has a strong history of solid performances in the World Cup. With a team rebuilding after a run of four losses in five matches, including two in a row, the Elephants still have the potential to bounce back. Their recent victory against a top-tier team shows they can compete with the best.

What challenges lie ahead?

The main challenge for Ivory Coast will be to regain consistency in their performances. With a recent form of 1 win, 0 draws, and 4 losses (LLWLL), the team must work on cohesion and consistency. Morocco, as the host country, will provide a familiar environment, but the competition will be fierce.

What can we expect from the Ivorian team?

Fans can expect a combative and determined team. With a mix of young talent and experienced players, Ivory Coast has the assets needed to perform well in 2030. Their recent victory against a top-tier team is an encouraging sign for the future.
