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
