Two players from the Principality club have already been selected to participate in the most prestigious international competition! After Maghnes Akliouche with France, it is indeed Simon Adingra's turn to be selected by Emerse Faé to participate in his first World Cup with Ivory Coast, from June 11 to July 19, alongside former Monaco player Wilfried Singo.
A continental title already for him 🏆
It's just reward for the 24-year-old, who arrived in Monaco this winter and has made 16 appearances so far as a left winger or wing-back, scoring three goals and providing one assist. And speaking of assists, Simon Adingra knows how to shine for his national team, having delivered both assists in his nation's 2-1 victory over Nigeria in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final on home soil -- a performance that earned him the Man of the Match award.
A tough group with the presence of a powerhouse 🇩🇪
Also a scorer against South Korea (4-0) during his last international break at the end of March, the Abobo native will undoubtedly have a role to play in Les Elephants' journey, as they have been placed in Group E with Ecuador, Germany, and Curaçao. Their first objective will be to finish in the top two or be among the four best third-placed teams in order to advance from the group stage for the first time in their history. Good luck, Simon! 🇨🇮
