Ivory Coast Squad & Key Players
The Ivory Coast squad World Cup 2026 has four players from the Premier League and one striking new face in Ange-Yoan Bonny, the 22-year-old Inter Milan forward who switched allegiance from France U21. Notable absences include Sebastien Haller and Wilfried Zaha. Coach Fae’s key players at WC2026 mix experience — Frank Kessie’s fifth international tournament — with genuine breakthrough-level talent at both ends of the pitch. The official FIFA team page lists 26 players in the confirmed squad.
- Amad Diallo (Manchester United, 22) — right winger; standout form in his debut full Premier League season
- Frank Kessie (Al Ahli, 29) – defensive midfielder and captain; the team’s most experienced voice in the dressing room across five tournaments
- Ange-Yoan Bonny (Inter Milan, 22) – striker; switched from France U21, WC debut incoming; the most-discussed selection call in the squad announcement (source: ESPN)
- Nicolas Pepe (Villarreal, 30) – forward/winger; returned to the squad after missing AFCON 2025; direct, strong in one-on-one situations
- Ibrahim Sangare (Nottingham Forest, 27) – central midfielder; one of four Premier League names in the squad, brings physicality and range of passing
- Jean Diomande (RB Leipzig, 24) – attacking midfielder; heavily linked with a Premier League move this summer, performing at a high level in the Bundesliga
- Oussou Diomande (Sporting CP, 23) – centre-back; one of the best defenders in CAF qualification, expected to start in central defence
