Ivory Coast has been confirmed as the host of three the 2026 FIFA World Cup Africa Zone qualifier games this March.


Guinea, Benin and Gambia have named Ivory Coast as their qualifier home. Since staging the last edition of the 2023 African Cup of Nations Ivory Coast’s stadiums have been used for qualifying games by different nations.


According to Sport Ivorie, Guinea will host Somalia in Group G clash. The Syli Nationale has called the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpe home since last year. The game is scheduled for March 21st. Guinea’s fortune at Ebimpe is so far good as they won twice there.


In a mouthwatering fixture Benin welcomes South Africa in a Group C crucial fixture. Both sides are second and third with equal seven points. The game will be played at the Stade Felix Houphouet Boigny.


Gambia will play Kenya in Group F game at Ebimpe as the Ivory Coast Football Federation confirmed.


Guinea, Gambia and Benin do not have a stadium that meets the minimum requirement of CAF. The three nations have been playing their home games in other nations due to the stadium ban.
