Ivory Coast arrives after completing a historic group stage. The African side earned six points in Group E thanks to their victories against Ecuador and Curaçao, results that allowed them to advance to a World Cup knockout stage for the first time. The Ivorian team has stood out for its defensive solidity, the experience of Franck Kessié, and the speed of Nicolas Pépé.

For its part, Norway returns to a World Cup knockout stage after 28 years. The team coached by Ståle Solbakken defeated Iraq and Senegal in the group stage, and despite falling to France on the final matchday, they rested a large portion of their starters with this match in mind.

The 2026 World Cup continues to deliver unprecedented matchups, and one of the most compelling Round of 32 clashes will be the showdown between Ivory Coast and Norway, taking place this Tuesday at the Dallas Stadium with a spot in the Round of 16 on the line.
