Germany vs Ivory Coast World Cup 2026 Tickets

Clash of Styles and Historical Context

Germany arrive in Toronto as four-time world champions and once again firmly settled in the FIFA top 10, with a tournament DNA built on tactical precision and total control of the tempo. Ivory Coast touch down as African champions for the third time in their history, playing a more direct, physical brand of football that is deadly on the break.

At BMO Field, two philosophies collide: the patient build-up and between-the-lines genius of Musiala, Wirtz and Kimmich against Adingra’s bursts of pace, Haller’s presence up front and Kessié’s relentless engine. Their only previous meeting, a 2–2 friendly back in 2009, already proved that the Elephants know how to trouble the European giants.

In the group stage, every point is gold: Germany come into this after two painful early exits in 2018 and 2022 and can’t afford to hold anything back, while Ivory Coast are out to validate their continental crown against one of football’s true historic powers.

In an expanded BMO Field with around 45,000 seats, stands right on top of the pitch and a compact atmosphere on the shores of Lake Ontario, every ticket is your pass to a high-voltage clash of styles.

World Cup Pedigree and Star Players

The German pedigree commands respect: four stars on the badge, countless podium finishes and, at the same time, the urgent need to put an end to a rocky World Cup spell. This new-look Germany leans on Jamal Musiala’s flair, Florian Wirtz’s vision, Joshua Kimmich’s leadership and Kai Havertz’s finishing, all of them now fully established as stars for club and country.

Ivory Coast, for their part, come in with the authority that comes from ruling the latest Africa Cup of Nations, powered by Sébastien Haller’s goals and the competitive steel of Franck Kessié and Simon Adingra. Champions in 1992, 2015 and 2023, they no longer see themselves as exotic outsiders but as a team capable of knocking out any European side in 90 minutes.

This Germany–Ivory Coast showdown in Toronto is about much more than three points: it’s your chance to see Europe’s elite go head-to-head with the champions of Africa in an expanded World Cup. Being there live means feeling every anthem, every tackle and every chance… and being able to say: “I was there.” Lock in your seat and witness history in the making.

Prices and Seating Areas at Toronto’s BMO Field

For the World Cup, BMO Field will grow to around 45,000 seats, with a football-specific design: straight stands, no running track and a pure “European-style” stadium feel, where the crowd literally leans over the penalty area. The best views are in the lower sidelines, comparable to central tribunes in Munich or London; the north and south ends recall the loudest curves in classic European grounds, while the upper tiers give you the perfect vantage point to read the tactical shape of the match.

Based on official prices for group-stage matches without the Canadian national team, tickets range roughly from €60–80 in the highest areas (Category 4), €140–160 behind the goals and in mid-tier sections (Category 3), €300–340 in corners and mid-level sidelines (Category 2), and €430–450 in central seats on the halfway line (Category 1), always depending on the opponent and demand.

Premium and hospitality options, with access to lounges and VIP services, start much higher, at over €1,800 at the current exchange rate.
