World Cup 2026: Seychelles collapse, Côte d'Ivoire cruise

Nothing could stop the Elephants this Friday. Côte d'Ivoire secured a resounding 7-0 win over Seychelles, underlining their dominance in these 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Facing the group's weakest team, Emerse Faé's men showed no mercy. The Ivorians played their game from start to finish, taking full advantage of the defensive lapses of their opponents to score repeatedly.

Seychelles, already eliminated, continue their nightmare run with 43 goals conceded and not a single point earned in 9 matches. A disastrous campaign that cements their status as the weakest nation in the African zone.

On their end, Côte d'Ivoire remains rock-solid at the back, with zero goals conceded since the start of the qualifiers. Now, just one final hurdle remains: beat Kenya on the last matchday to seal a return to the World Cup, twelve years after their last appearance.
