World Cup 2026: Emerse Faé promises to return stronger with the Ivory Coast national team!

Ivory Coast’s journey at the 2026 World Cup came to a close on Monday, after a 2‑1 defeat to Norway in the round of 32.

The Elephants fought hard but ultimately fell short against a determined Scandinavian side, bringing an end to their campaign in a tournament co‑hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Despite the disappointment, head coach Emerse Faé looked ahead with resolve. “We’re going to keep working to come back stronger in future competitions,” he said after the final whistle.

His words offered a glimpse of optimism amid the heartbreak, with the promise of a renewed effort to return to the global stage and make a deeper run next time. The Elephants may be out, but the foundation for a stronger challenge is already being laid.
