About this match

Several Ivorian players have built careers in the Bundesliga — Salomon Kalou at Hertha Berlin, Sebastien Haller at Borussia Dortmund, and legend Didier Drogba was nearly signed by Bayern Munich. Germany arrives desperate for redemption after two consecutive group stage eliminations, something unthinkable for a team of their stature. Ivory Coast, 2024 African champions, want to prove they can compete with any European giant — and against a fragile Germany, the opportunity is real.
