Côte d’Ivoire : Nicolas Pépé de retour chez les Eléphants
Having not been called up for the last Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, Nicolas Pépé makes his return to the national team this March. The Villarreal winger benefits from the withdrawal of Yan Diomandé, who injured his shoulder on Friday, March 20th, during a Bundesliga match for his team, RB Leipzig.
Pepe will therefore play in the Elephants' two friendly matches scheduled during the FIFA international window against Scotland and South Korea. The first match is scheduled for March 28, 2026 at the MK Stadium.
The match will pit the Elephants against the Taeguk Warriors (the nickname of the Korean team). The second encounter will take place on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. Emerse Fae's men will face Scotland.
Nicolas Pépé will certainly take advantage of these two matches to score points with his coach, as he did not really appreciate his non-selection for the AFCON-2025.
