Ivory Coast have selected a very strong 23 man squad for their 2014 FIFA World Cup campaign in Brazil.
With the Toure brothers, Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Gervinho and Wilfried Bony, Côte d’Ivoire go to the World Cup with a very strong chance of going into the knockout phases, from Group C.
Their opponents in the group are Japan, Colombia and Greece, making them good candidates to progress to the Round of 16 at the very least. Having never made it to the knock-out phase of a World Cup, should Côte d’Ivoire manage to qualify, this would represent their best-ever World Cup campaign.
