The Ivory Coast national team has arrived in the United States as preparations intensify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

After concluding a training camp in Paris, head coach Emerse Fae and his squad travelled to the United States for the final phase of their build-up to the tournament.

The Elephants landed in Philadelphia on June 7 and have settled into their base ahead of the competition, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The team arrived dressed in Ivory Coast's national colours and received a welcome from members of the Ivorian community in the United States.

With the tournament drawing closer, the squad will continue preparations before opening their Group E campaign against Ecuador on June 15.

Ivory Coast will then face Germany on June 20 before concluding their group-stage fixtures against Curaçao on June 25 as they seek qualification to the knockout stage.
