Ivory Coast will face Curacao in the final Group E match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the Philadelphia Stadium on Thursday.
Ivory Coast is second in the group with three points and still has automatic qualification for the Round of 32 in its own hands.
A win or a draw against Curaçao will be enough for the Elephants to qualify for the knockouts for the first time in their history.
In the event that Ivory Coast and Ecuador finish with four points each, the former will finish second due to its superior head-to-head record following the 1-0 win in the opening week.
In their second match, Ivory Coast fell to a late goal against Germany in their second match.
Germany has already qualified as table toppers and will face Ecuador in its final group match.
