France - Ivory Coast: a match between brothers for Guéla and Désiré Doué? These 4 African football sibling pairs never had that chance

This Thursday in Nantes, the French national team faces Ivory Coast in a 2026 World Cup preparation match. Ivorian right-back Guéla Doué could face his younger brother Désiré Doué, a PSG winger called up for France. This sibling duel recalls the Boateng brothers (Kevin-Prince for Ghana, Jérôme for Germany) in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. The Mandanda brothers (Steve for France, Parfait for DR Congo) nearly faced off in 2008, but Parfait did not play.
