Ivory Coast vs Kenya: Match Preview

Long recognised as one of CAF's foremost football nations, Ivory Coast are three-time Africa Cup of Nations winners and reigning continental champions.

Yet their recent World Cup record after three consecutive finals tournaments between 2006 and 2014 – the first three appearances in the team's history – is surprisingly meagre.

The Elephants failed to qualify for Russia 2018 having finished behind Morocco in the third round of CAF's labyrinthine qualifiers and missed out in 2022 thanks to a second-placed finish behind Cameroon.

Now managed by former player Emerse Fae, Ivory Coast are back on track. They lead Group F by a point and are unbeaten in their nine qualifiers.

If they win the tenth, they're going to the World Cup again. If they draw and Gabon beat Burundi, Ivory Coast will face CAF's play-off bracket for a place in the intercontinental play-offs that will allocate the last two World Cup spots next March.

That's a complication Fae would like to avoid and Ivory Coast are favourites in Abidjan on Tuesday, though Kenya held the Elephants to a draw in their 'home' fixture in Malawi last summer.

Long since eliminated, Kenya have picked up three wins and Ivory Coast will be aware of their threat. Captain Michael Olunga is the embodiment of that threat, scoring six times in nine qualifiers so far.

But Ivory Coast are in good shape. Nearly two years after beginning their campaign with a 9-0 win over Seychelles, they beat the group's bottom side 7-0 on Friday to serve notice on Benni McCarthy and the Harambee Stars.
