Ivory Coast won CAF Group F comfortably with 26 points, building on their AFCON 2023 title triumph on home soil. Sébastien Haller leads the attack after recovering from testicular cancer, while Franck Kessié provides experience in midfield. The Elephants face a difficult Group E draw (Germany, Ecuador, Curaçao) but are considered one of Africa's best shots at a deep run.
