Chad and Cote d'Ivoire are back in action in Group G of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers when they square off at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium on Tuesday. Les Elephants head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last nine outings and will be looking to maintain this impressive run of results.
Chad kicked off their quest for a first-ever AFCON appearance last Friday when they played out a goalless draw with Sierra Leone at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex.
Prior to that, Kevin Nicaise’s men were on a run of two back-to-back defeats, losing against Central African Republic and Comoros in Group I of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers back in March.
Chad, who are 178th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, head into Tuesday’s class on a run of just two wins in their last 18 matches and will need to be at their best against the reigning African champions.
Cote d'Ivoire, on the other hand, kicked off their AFCON qualifying campaign on a high as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Zambia at the Stade de la Paix last Friday.
Paris FC forward Jean-Philippe Krasso came up clutch for Les Elephants as he came off the bench to score two second-half goals and leave Zambia empty-handed.
Cote d'Ivoire have now gone nine consecutive games without defeat across all competitions, a run which saw them clinch the 2023 AFCON title courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Nigeria in the final back in February.
