The teams
Germany reach the 2026 World Cup through UEFA and have been drawn into Group E alongside Curaçao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador. Germany are former world champions, with 4 titles, so they arrive among the favourites rather than the underdogs.
Ivory Coast reach the 2026 World Cup through CAF and have been drawn into Group E alongside Germany, Curaçao and Ecuador. Ivory Coast have yet to win a World Cup, and a strong group stage would already be a notable run.
The venue
The match is played at BMO Field in Toronto, a 45,000-capacity venue that FIFA refers to as Toronto Stadium during the tournament. The nearest major airport is Toronto (YYZ). FIFA enforces a clear-bag policy at every venue, so plan to travel light and arrive early to get through security.
BMO Field →What to expect
