Somalia v Ivory Coast: TV and streaming details

Ivory Coast’s campaign for a place at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations continues away to Somalia, with both teams named for Tuesday’s qualifier. The fixture follows Ivory Coast’s meeting with Ghana last Thursday and extends the Elephants’ route through the preliminary race.

The match begins at 21:00. It will be available on beIN SPORTS 2 and through the beIN Connect streaming platform, giving viewers both television and online options for the game.

Somalia are set to start with Yuusuf in goal behind Elmi, Mohamed, Ali and Ibrahim. Awad, Ahmed and Abdi form the midfield, with Suleiman, Addo and Gigli leading the attack. Ivory Coast name Y. Fofana, G. Doué, Agbadou, Ndicka, G. Konan, Franck Kessié, Sangaré, A. Koné, Pépé, Wahi and B. Touré.

The Ivorians enter the fixture after an encouraging recent World Cup campaign. Hervé Renard returned to lead the side this summer, more than a decade after his first spell with the national team. His latest coaching role was a short and unsuccessful period in charge of Tunisia. The trip to Somalia is his latest step in trying to restore Ivory Coast to the top level of African football.
