Sabri Lamouchi recently unveiled the Ivory Coast national team selection for the upcoming events. However, there was a mistake in the information provided about goalkeeper Ali Badra Sangaré, as his club affiliation was not accurately updated. Instead of Séwé Sport, he currently plays for Ivoire Académie, a club in the Ivorian 2nd division. Lamouchi acknowledged the criticism and doubts he faced due to his lack of coaching experience but emphasized his extensive background as a player. The corrected list of Ivory Coast players includes:
Goalkeepers: Boubacar Barry, Daniel Yeboah, Badra Ali Sangaré.
Defenders: Souleymane Bamba, Arthur Boka, Emmanuel Eboué, Igor Lolo, Siaka Tiéné, Kolo Touré, Ismael Traoré.
Midfielders: Abdul Razak, Romaric, Max-Alain Gradel, Cheik Ismaël Tioté, Yaya Touré, Didier Ya Konan, Didier Zokora.
Forwards: Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Arouna Koné, Lacina Traoré, Wilfried Bony, Gervinho.
