Ivory Coast and Ecuador will meet for the first time ever in their first Group E match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Philadelphia Stadium on FS1.
Ivory Coast enters the tournament in good form, winning five of their last six matches, including a 2-1 victory over France in a friendly last week.
They secured a World Cup berth by finishing first in their qualifying group ahead of Gabon, continuing the momentum of their 2024 AFCON title on the world stage.
Ecuador also had a strong qualifying campaign. They finished second behind Argentina and ahead of traditional powers Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay. Despite a three-point penalty for using an ineligible player, the penalty ultimately had little impact on his final ranking.
The Tri enters the World Cup having beaten Saudi Arabia 2-1 and Guatemala 3-0 in two friendlies in recent weeks.
Let’s check out the odds for the Ivory Coast vs Ecuador match in Group E on FanDuel Sportsbook starting June 14.

Ivory Coast against. Ecuador Prediction, choice
From FOX Sports Research:
- Ivory Coast boast a young attack led by Yan Diomande, the Bundesliga rookie of the year, while Ecuador might have the best defense in the World Cup with Willian Pacho, Piero Hincapié, Pervis Estupiñán and Moisés Caicedo controlling the pitch. Ecuador is on a 19-match unbeaten streak, but has only scored 20 goals in those matches. Expect a draw here.
