The Elephants are among the mightiest forces in African football. For decades, the men of the Ivory Coast national team have been dazzling us with their inspiring performances on the continental and world stages, leaving us with memories that have stayed in our hearts long after we've seen them.
Their vivid orange uniforms are emblematic of this situation. Not only does that color stand out — winning the color scheme contest as far as I'm concerned — but it's also a reminder of the technical brilliance and tactical sophistication that the team represents, capturing the spirit of West African football.
The team is under the helm of Patrice Beaumelle and is under the process of unfulfilled evolution while still showing reverence to the legendary ancestors of the team who have gone before them. They possess a style that is an enigma to fully understand. They have a manner of play that is impossible to even attempt to categorize, a hybrid that blends possession with play counter-attacking power to an explosive extent. Their fans are passionate and feverish and create stadium atmospheres that few can rival.
Since their historic 1992 Africa Cup of Nations breakthrough, the Ivorians have shown remarkable resilience and tactical growth, culminating in the unforgettable 2024 AFCON win at home. Each generation here builds on the legacy of such icons as Didier Drogba and Didier Zokora. And with that, they sustain — and, in fact, deepen — a culture of winning that goes far beyond star power. The orange legacy continues inspiring young West African talents while sustaining Ivory Coast's status among Africa's elite.
The tale of ambition and victory that comprises Ivorian football is one of the relatively few positive stories that have emerged from the western part of that country in recent years. It isn't a long narrative. After all, it has really just been a succession of events over the past couple of decades. At the same time, it is a significant narrative.
Their legacy is defined by three moments: the landmark win in 1992 at the Africa Cup of Nations; the emotional 2015 title that concluded a 23-year wait; and the stunning victory at the 2024 AFCON, played on home soil. Each triumph contains far more than mere trophies — they signify episodes of national unity, expressions of pride, and the realization of something far greater: football dreams made real.
Appearances at the World Cup in 2006, 2010, and 2014 demonstrated that they could hold their own on football's largest stage. Though the knockout rounds proved elusive, the actual tournament experience itself was priceless. So, too, was the global football profile-boosting that came from being the first African side to progress from the group stage. All of which makes this current team's march from African champions to world contenders all the more impressive.
The case that holds their trophies tells of gleaming awards earned at the highest level. Three Africa Cup of Nations titles — 1992, 2015, and 2024 — find the national team ranked among the continent's most successful sides. What makes this latest Cup run particularly sweet is the way it resonated across the continent — the kind of magic that football often conjures.
Each time, Didier Drogba won the award for African Footballer of the Year, and he took it home on two occasions, cementing his status as one of the continent's all-time greats. The quality of football in Ivory Coast is proven by the number of Ivorian players who have made African XI teams, a number that seems to grow with each passing year. The consistently high level of Ivorian football was also proven when the national team captured an Olympic bronze medal in 2008.
The squad is anchored today by Franck Kessié, an energetic and dynamic leader in the midfield. He combines tactical awareness, top-level strength, and high-pressure game experience to allow the Panthers to blitz and counter like never before. Next in line is Jean-Eudes Ahoussou, versatile, technically gifted, and ambitious.
Today's squad owes much to the influence of legendary players. The story of the national team, in its golden years, was written by the goals and leadership of Didier Drogba. The attacking talent that has made the national team a force to be reckoned with could not have thrived had it not been for the defensive steadiness of Didier Zokora. Both of these legends have set a standard for today's players.
The team's golden decade was marked not only by glory and titles but also by the kind of creativity and finishing that made the team hard to handle. Yaya Touré's creativity, for instance, was matched only by Salomon Kalou's finishing. Their collective brilliance made Ivorian football truly formidable, motivating countless young Ivorians, deepening talent across the nation and leading to the strength seen in the team today.
Few experiences can compare with being at home for Les Éléphants. The revelry of fans, the rhythmic chants, and the electric energy of our orange-clad heroes stepping onto the field — it is hard to think of any other way to describe those intimate cultural events. They are not just matches; they are brilliant displays of football becoming art.
The atmosphere of a tournament can hardly be paralleled. Extremely committed fans journey from all corners of the globe, transforming seemingly neutral sites into pro-team strongholds that boost players' on-field performances. You might think that a chorus of thousands screaming might be the most impressive aural spectacle. Yet the rhythmic drumming, singing, and chanting that you find at the average soccer match is even more impressive, making for unforgettable spectacles long remembered after the final whistle.
