科特迪瓦

The Ivory Coast national football team, known as Les Éléphants, has been a dominant force in African football since its founding in 1960. Their golden era arrived in the 2000s and 2010s, led by Didier Drogba and Yaya Touré, culminating in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations title—their second trophy after 1992. The team is renowned for its powerful, physically imposing style, blending European tactical discipline with West African flair. This approach has consistently made them a contender on the continent, even as a new generation has emerged in recent years.
