The Ivory Coast national football team, known as the Elephants, is poised for a potential third qualification for the final phase of the Football World Cup. They hold a comfortable advantage against Senegal from the first leg, and the team aims to secure qualification in the match scheduled at the Mohamed V stadium in Casablanca. The relocation to Morocco is due to the suspension of the Léopold Sédar Senghor stadium in Dakar.
However, Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi faces concerns in the midfield, as Cheikh Ismaël Tioté is suspended for the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Tioté expressed disappointment about missing the game and emphasized the team’s motivation for reaching the World Cup, especially since it will be held in Brazil. Despite the absence of Tioté, the Elephants are determined to finish the job and secure their place in the prestigious tournament.
