Analyst brief — Ivory Coast going into Global Cup 2026
Form
AFCON 2023 champions on home soil. Coaching transition since — Faé's magic has cooled.
Style
4-3-3 with width from Kessié-shaped midfield; Pépé / Haller / Sébastien up top.
Squad
Haller centre-forward; Kessié the captain; Aurier & Singo provide elite wide cover.
Tournament ceiling
Round of 16, with Quarter-final possible if knockout opens.
Biggest risk
Inconsistency — AFCON winners rarely back it up at the WC.
