The Elephants are on the verge of selecting a coach to lead the team to the world cup 2026 Ivory Coast and the team is already starting to take shape under coach Emerse Faé. Although the Cote d’Ivoire is not likely to effect radical changes, there are still a number of experienced players and fringe players who have all to prove. The 2026 Ivory Coast World Cup list will prioritize form, fitness and consistency to an extent that reputation will not be enough on its own. The next few months will be a make or a buy decision as to whether to keep the proven stars or to seek the former AFCON heroes. The project of the World Cup 2026 Ivory Coast is at the most crucial stage as the competition in Europe is increasing.
Key Players Still Fighting for a World Cup 2026 Ivory Coast Spot
Nicolas Pépé, who has not been to the recent tournaments due to disciplinary reasons is one of the biggest doubts of the world cup 2026 Ivory Coast team. Although he is talented, there is strong competition in the wings and as such, he has to perform on a regular basis.
One of the former national heroes, Sebastian Haller, is in need of objectives. His spot at the World Cup 2026 Ivory Coast is hardly secured with the younger forwards pressing hard.The fact that Simon Adingra has no shape and Seko Fofana does not have a clear future in the club only complicates the selection choices. Even experienced Jean Michael Seri has to prove his role based on experience. Finally, it is just the best performance which will help to enter the world cup 2026 Ivory Coast when Faé trains his last team to the USA.
