Ivory Coast: Togui Mel handed maiden call-up for Benin, Tunisia friendlies

Ivory Coast coach Ibrahim Kamara has named 26 players for their upcoming friendlies against Benin and Tunisia in September.

The Elephants will face their West African neighbours on September 6, with the encounter against the Eagles of Carthage slated to take place on September 10.

Both encounters will be the Ivorian national team’s first since the Africa Cup of Nations where they made it to the quarter-final before elimination at the hands of eventual winners Algeria.

Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-back Willy Boly has been handed a call-up by Kamara, and the defender is in line to make his international debut in the upcoming games.
