The chosen squad comprises four goalkeepers, eight defenders, seven midfielders, and eight attackers. A few regulars like goalkeeper Herv\u00e9 Koffi, central defender Edmond Tapsoba, and right-back Issa Kabor\u00e9 stand out in the list. Moreover, Bertrand Traor\u00e9, despite his recent absence from fixtures, finds a place in the squad, a testament to Coach Velud\u2019s faith in his abilities.
