Ivory Coast’s World Cup 2026 winner price sits at +30000 with bet365, an implied probability of 0.33%. The Elephants are priced as deep outsiders for the trophy, but the reigning African champions have a defined task in Group E and a realistic shot at reaching the knockouts for the first time in their history.
Emerse Faé inherited the squad mid-AFCON in 2024 and walked away with the title; he has been kept on, and his side now carry the continent’s confederation favouritism into a tournament Ivory Coast have never properly broken out of. Three group appearances, three group exits. The expanded 48-team bracket changes the maths.
Their group draw and the route beyond it are laid out on the 2026 World Cup schedule page, with full venue and fixture detail at FIFA’s official 2026 World Cup site.
Ivory Coast odds to win the World Cup
Bet365 has Ivory Coast at 300/1 to lift the trophy, which prices in an implied 0.33% probability. The reasoning behind that number is straightforward enough.
No African side has ever reached a World Cup final, and only one (Morocco in 2022) has gone as far as the semis. Ivory Coast themselves have never escaped a group, even in the Drogba-Touré era when the squad was arguably stronger top to bottom than the current one. Asking the market to price in a continental first and a programme-defining tournament for the Elephants inside a single price is a stretch, and the sportsbook is not stretching.
Ivory Coast odds to win Group E
Inside Group E the Elephants are third on the pecking order. Germany are the heavy favourites to top it, Ecuador are the credible second name on the line, and Curaçao round out the four as the clear outsiders. That puts Ivory Coast in the awkward middle: too good to be discounted, not quite priced as the alternative to Germany.
Ivory Coast stage of elimination odds
The 48-team format means a third-place finish can still be enough to advance, and that is reflected in the qualification market. Ivory Coast are priced as the favoured side to make it out of Group E in some form, despite their winless group-stage record at previous tournaments.

Ivory Coast have never escaped a World Cup group in three previous appearances, despite the Drogba-Touré golden generation. With the 2024 African title under their belt and the expanded 48-team format, breaking that ceiling is realistic. The Group E draw with Germany and Ecuador makes Curaçao the key match.
