Match Day/France vs Ivory Coast: The highly anticipated duel of the Doué brothers

The friendly match between France and Ivory Coast, scheduled for Thursday, June 4, 2026 in Nantes, will for the first time pit the Doué brothers against each other: Guéla Doué (Ivory Coast) and Désiré Doué (France). Guéla, a defender, debuted with the Elephants in 2024, while Désiré, an attacking midfielder, joined Les Bleus in 2025. This fraternal duel echoes historical precedents like the Boateng brothers in 2010 or the Xhaka brothers.
