Playing Style and Formation Adopted by Côte d’Ivoire
Côte d’Ivoire has developed a modern playing style that balances defensive security with the ability to launch powerful attacks, traits strengthened by recent successes.
The most likely tactical formation to be seen is the dynamic 4-3-3, ideal for leveraging the team’s deep pool of talent.
This setup maximizes the use of versatile midfielders, such as the engine Franck Kessié, who are crucial both in ball recovery and playmaking.
Tactically, Côte d’Ivoire prioritizes building up possession through the central third, aiming to control the tempo of the match.
However, the true strength lies in rapid offensive transitions, utilizing the pace of wingers like Simon Adingra to feed the finishing power of striker Sébastien Haller.
The team also seeks to exploit the physical strength of its players in individual duels and set pieces, taking advantage of their athletic superiority.
This tactical flexibility is a major asset, allowing Côte d’Ivoire to adapt effectively both against teams that sit deep and those that seek open confrontations.

The team is expected to retain the core of the championship winning squad while integrating promising new talents to add depth and energy to the roster.
