The Ivorian press and fans are eagerly awaiting the preparation program for the Ivory Coast national football team ahead of the 2014 World Cup. Various rumors have circulated regarding friendly matches, including one against the Spanish national team. However, the Ivorian Football Federation has clarified that only a friendly against Belgium on March 5 is confirmed.
The federation has urged the public to remain patient while awaiting the official announcement of the Elephants’ preparation schedule. The federation will release a press release detailing the decisions regarding the team’s preparation for the World Cup in Brazil.
It’s worth noting that Ivory Coast initially planned a training camp in Portugal but had to cancel it due to logistical reasons. Coach Sabri Lamouchi has indicated that they are still searching for an alternative host country for their preparations.
