Ivory Coast and Ecuador, debutantes hungry for glory in the World Cup

Ivory Coast returns to the World Cup with the goal of surpassing the group stage for the first time in its history. With a notable offensive potential, it faces Ecuador, a tough rival known for its defensive performance in the South American Qualifiers.

Possible Ivory Coast Lineup

Yan Diomande is the star player of Ivory Coast, supported in the attacking trio by Amad Diallo and possibly Elye Wahi, with Bonny up front. Ndicka is doubtful, and Ousmane Diomande could take his place in defense.
