Ivory Coast start the Africa Cup of Nations campaign against Equatorial Guinea before battling Sierra Leone on January 16 and Algeria on January 20.
The Ivorians have a good squad with better force in Africa. However, after succeeding the AFCON in 2015, the Elephants have gone back into the jungle to rest.
They left the group stage in 2017 and at the Quarter-final stage in 2019. Under new manager Patrice Beaumelle, they cannot afford to lose again.
The Ivory Coast is the only team in the top 10 of Africa to not qualify for the play-offs of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.
Ivory Coast has another “Golden Generation,” of players with Wilfred Zaha, Willy Boly, Eric Bailly, Ibrahim Sangaré, Franck Kessié, Serge Aurier and Sebastien Haller form the core of the team. The Elephants have a galaxy of stars playing in international contests.
The best player for Equatorial Guinea is Pedro Obiang and he is injured. Only two players play in La Liga while Jose Machin is in the second division in Italy.
