Ivory Coast, having qualified for the World Cup for the third consecutive time, is gearing up for its first friendly match in preparation for the tournament in Brazil. Led by captain Didier Drogba, the team will face Belgium on Wednesday. However, head coach Sabri Lamouchi will be without four players due to injuries: Akpa Akpro, Bolly Mathis, Angoua Brou, and Bamba Souleiman.
Despite these absences, Lamouchi will have key players such as Yaya Touré, Gervinho, Kalou, and others at his disposal for the match. The encounter is scheduled for March 5 and will be attended by Sidy Diallo, the president of the Ivorian Football Federation.
