Ghana and Ivory Coast face off in a West African derby at Bouake Stadium on Thursday, with Ghana aiming to avoid missing out on consecutive Africa Cup of Nations finals. The team has seen several key players withdraw, including captain Jordan Ayew and Manchester City star Antoine Semenyo. Ivory Coast manager Herve Renard, who led Les Elephants to victory in the 2015 tournament, returns to leading his team after a 11-year absence.
Renard's team will be looking to secure a positive return following their 2025 AFCON absence. Meanwhile, Cameroon will be seeking redemption after failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Indomitable Lions, five-time champions, have been unbeaten in their last seven matches and claimed a 2-0 victory over China in March.
They will face debutant Comoros, who have struggled in recent qualifying campaigns with six defeats in their last 10 matches. The Netherlands will host Germany in a UEFA Nations League opener, with Xavi and Jurgen Klopp making their international coaching debuts. The matchup between the two European powers will determine the fate of both teams in the League A Group 2, with a top-two finish required for advancement to the quarter-finals.
