Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup: Who's in the squad?

Yan Diomande

The Ivory Coast squad for the 2026 World Cup has been finalised. See who made the cut here.

Ivory Coast will head to the 2026 World Cup with two young Bundesliga talents: national coach Emerse Fae has included Leipzig's surprise package Yan Diomande and Hoffenheim's attacking prospect Bazoumana Toure in his 26-man squad for the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada. Both attackers only made their debuts for the Ivory Coast in October 2025.

The squad also includes Guela Doué, older brother of France international Désiré Doué of Paris Saint-Germain. First-time call-up Yoan-Ange Bonny is another notable selection; the former France U21 forward, who plays for Inter Milan, was only granted permission a few days ago to represent the Ivory Coast.

Sebastien Haller, however, has been left out; the former Borussia Dortmund striker is surprisingly absent from the West African side's World Cup squad.

The Elephants will lock horns with the German national team on the second matchday of the group stage: Germany versus Ivory Coast on 20 June.
