Ivory Coast — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Ivory Coast beat Nigeria 2-1 as hosts, having fired their coach mid-tournament, for a third AFCON title. The final was delayed to February 2024.
Ivory Coast's most recent Africa Cup of Nations title, in 2023 (played into early 2024), is one of the most dramatic comeback stories in the tournament's history. As hosts, they nearly crashed out in the group stage and fired their head coach mid-tournament, before rallying under a replacement manager to win the trophy on home soil, beating Nigeria 2-1 in the final. It was their third AFCON title, following wins in 1992 and 2015 — both, remarkably, decided by penalty shootouts against the same opponent, Ghana. The 1992 shootout went to a marathon 11-10, one of the longest in the tournament's history. Ivory Coast's greatest individual player, Didier Drogba, never actually won an AFCON title himself, losing finals in both 2006 and 2012 — making the country's later titles bittersweet reminders of his near-misses.
