Ivory Coast Returns to World Cup After 12-Year Wait

Published May 2, 2026 · Updated May 2, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Ivory Coast returns to the World Cup for the first time in 12 years, qualifying automatically after a flawless AFCON campaign.

Twelve years ago, the Elephants suffered a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to Greece in 2014, missing out on the knockout stages despite Wilfried Bony's late equalizer.

They failed to qualify in 2018 and 2022, but this summer they earned an automatic spot and have been drawn into Group E alongside hosts Germany, Curaçao, and Ecuador. sport-tr.bet
