The tournament marks what is likely to be the last chance for the Ivorian golden generation’ to make a big impact on the international stage after failed attempts in the 2006 and 2010 world cup respectively.
Toure, along with others including brother and current African Footballer of the year Yaya, Didier Drogba, are part of that elite group of players who could be attending their last world cup as national team players.
The Ivorians have received a more favourable draw this time compared to previous World Cups, but Toure is careful not to underestimate their Group C opponents Japan, Colombia and Greece.
The Ivory Coast open their World Cup campaign against Japan on June 14, before facing Colombia on June 19 and wrapping up their group games against Greece on June 24.
