Story summary

On January 12, Ivory Coast faces Ghana in Bouake for the first round of qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which has been moved to summer from its traditional winter schedule. Herve Renard, who previously led Ivory Coast to AFCON glory in 2015, returns as coach with a squad featuring eight newcomers and experienced players like Franck Kessie and Ibrahim Sangare.

Ghana, ranked 65th globally compared to Ivory Coast's 31st, is looking to bounce back after missing the 2025 finals by finishing last in their qualifying group. Ghana’s head coach Carlos Queiroz faces challenges as key players Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo, and Mohammed Kudus are unavailable due to injuries. The match will be streamed live on GTV Sports+.

This qualifier is crucial for both nations aiming to secure spots at the 2027 AFCON finals hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
