France confirms Cote d’Ivoire friendly

France will face the reiging African champions, the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire in an international friendly in November, the French Football Federation announced on Friday.

The game is scheduled for November 15, four days after Didier Deschamps’s beaten Euro 2016 finalists take on Sweden in a 2018 World Cup qualifier at the Stade de France.

It has been over 10 years since the two teams last played in a 3-0 win for France in Montpellier in August 2005.

The Elephants are preparing to defend the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon early in the new year.
