Germany will face Ecuador and Ivory Coast will face Curacao in Group E of the 2026 World Cup on Thursday at 1:45 PM.
The match between Germany and Ecuador will be held in New Jersey, New York, USA, and the match between Ivory Coast and Curacao will be held in Philadelphia.
Germany has already qualified for the knockout stage as group winners after winning the matches against Ivory Coast and Curacao.
Any team from this group except Germany can reach the last 32. Four-time World Cup winners Germany have been eliminated in the group stage at the previous two World Cups.
‘Our journey is still ongoing, I am happy about that. It is important for us to be honest about this,’ said Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, ‘We won two games, one by a very wide margin and the other in a competitive game. We will also beat Ecuador and wait for our opponent in the last 32.’
Ecuador is under pressure to win this game to reach the next stage of the competition. Ivory Coast can finish second in the group with a win over Curaçao, who are playing in their first World Cup. Curaçao also have a chance of reaching the knockout stages after being held to a goalless draw by Ecuador in their last match.
