Ivory Coast and Ecuador will meet for the first time in the first match of Group E of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, June 14, 2026 at Philadelphia Stadium on FS1.
Ivory Coast come into the tournament in good form, winning five of their last six games, including a 2-1 victory over France in a friendly last week.
They secured a spot in the World Cup by finishing first in their qualifying group ahead of Gabon, carrying the momentum of their AFCON 2024 title to the world stage.
Ecuador also had a solid qualifying campaign. They finished second behind Argentina and ahead of traditional powers such as Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay. Although he was docked three points for using an ineligible player, the penalty ultimately had little impact on his final ranking.
La Tri arrives at the World Cup after beating Saudi Arabia 2-1 and Guatemala 3-0 in two friendlies in recent weeks.
Let’s look at the odds for the Group E showdown between Ivory Coast and Ecuador on FanDuel Sportsbook starting June 14.

- Ivory Coast boasts a youthful attack led by Bundesliga Rookie of the Year Yan Diomande, while Ecuador could have the best defense in the World Cup with Willian Pacho, Piero Hincapié, Pervis Estupiñán and Moisés Caicedo controlling the field. Ecuador is on an unbeaten streak of 19 games, but has only scored 20 goals in those games. Expect a tie here.
