AFCON 2027 qualifiers: Hervé Renard to announce Ivory Coast squad on 5 November

Ivory Coast will face The Gambia in a double-header on 12 and 17 November as part of the 3rd and 4th matchdays of the qualifiers.

The Elephants are gearing up for their next international fixtures. The Ivorian national team’s November training camp will be marked by the third and fourth matchdays of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Ivory Coast will first host The Gambia on 12 November at 7 pm GMT at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké, before travelling to Bakau a few days later to play the fourth round of the qualifiers.

This match is scheduled for 17 November, with kick-off set for 4 pm GMT at the Independence Stadium in The Gambia. But ahead of these two matches, Ivory Coast’s head coach, Hervé Renard, will announce the squad list.

The French manager will hold a press conference on Thursday 5 November at 2 pm GMT at the Félix Houphouët Boigny Stadium in Abidjan. It is during this press conference that the Elephants’ manager will reveal the names of the players selected for the two-legged tie against The Gambia.

Côte d’Ivoire began their qualifying campaign with two victories last September. The Ivorians will be looking to build on that form over the next two matchdays and secure their qualification.
