World Cup History
Ivory Coast has participated in three FIFA World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014), showcasing some of Africa's greatest football talents. The golden generation featuring Didier Drogba, Yaya Touré, Kolo Touré, and Salomon Kalou captivated the world with their talent and passion, though they were often drawn into difficult groups.
The Elephants' 2006 World Cup debut saw them face Argentina and the Netherlands in the "Group of Death." Despite heartbreaking losses, Drogba's performances announced Ivory Coast as a rising African power. The 2010 and 2014 tournaments followed similar patterns - spectacular individual talent but narrow group stage exits.
Ivory Coast has been a dominant force in African football, winning the Africa Cup of Nations twice (1992, 2015) and consistently producing world-class players who star in Europe's top leagues. Players like Sébastien Haller, Franck Kessié, Nicolas Pépé, and Wilfried Zaha continue the proud tradition.
The 2026 World Cup marks Ivory Coast's return after missing 2018 and 2022, with a new generation determined to finally advance past the group stage and honor the legacy of their predecessors.

What to Expect in 2026
After missing two consecutive World Cups, Les Éléphants return to the global stage with a point to prove. The 2026 tournament offers Ivory Coast the chance to finally achieve what their legendary golden generation could not - advancing to the knockout rounds.
The shadow of Didier Drogba, Yaya Touré, and that talented 2006-2014 era still looms large. Those stars thrilled the world but always fell short in the group stage. This new generation, led by powerful striker Sébastien Haller and creative midfielder Franck Kessié, carries the weight of those unfulfilled expectations.
Ivory Coast crowned itself 2023 AFCON champions on home soil, defeating Nigeria in a dramatic final. That triumph proved the Elephants have rediscovered their winning mentality and tactical discipline under coach Emerse Faé, who transformed the team mid-tournament.
With passionate West African communities across North America ready to pack stadiums in orange, Ivory Coast arrives with confidence, talent, and hunger. Can this generation finally break the group stage curse and write a new chapter in Ivorian football history?
