Footbal/ Germany to face Côte d’Ivoire in friendly, conditions apply
The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) confirmed on Thursday that the Elephants will play a high-profile friendly against Germany in Stuttgart on March 30, 2026.
However, the marquee match is contingent on two key conditions. Firstly, Ivory Coast must successfully qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Secondly, the two nations must not be drawn into the same group during the World Cup final draw, scheduled for December 5, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
This stipulation ensures the friendly serves as unique preparation, avoiding a premature meeting before the tournament in North America.
