Ivory Coast and Ecuador have both been tipped as potential dark horses at World Cup 2026, and their meeting on matchday one will reveal which of the two are best positioned to make a major impact in North America.
Buoyed by a 2-1 win against France in a warm-up friendly, Ivory Coast are feeling positive about their chances this summer. They did not concede a goal in qualifying and possess real quality on the wings, with Amad Diallo and Yan Diomande capable of giving any full-back at the tournament twisted blood.
Ecuador are defensively solid too, with a backline that includes Joel Ordonez, Willian Pacho and Piero Hincapie. They are reliant on the veteran striker Enner Valencia for goals, but Moises Caicedo in midfield is a driving force who will aim to dominate the centre of the park against Ivory Coast, who have not yet decided whether to use two or three players in that position.
