Facts
- In seven attempts, Côte d'Ivoire have yet to reach the FIFA
World Cup™ finals. In the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers they were
hot on the heels of Tunisia for much of the time, but in the end
failed to snatch the first place they needed to progress. Côte
d'Ivoire nonetheless remained unbeaten against eventual qualifiers
Tunisia, holding them to a draw in both home and away legs (1-1 and
2-2).
- Côte d'Ivoire have achieved 6-0 victories no less than three
times in their history, a record in world football statistics. The
matches in question were against Mali (1985), Botswana (1992) and
Niger (2000).
- The team's worst defeat dates from 1971 when they went down 6-2
to Ghana.
