2008 Summer Olympics
Ivory Coast- qualified for the 2008 Olympics. This African team representing Africa at the 2006 FIFA World Championships in Germany. It is one of the best teams in Africa. "We are one of the few African countries to have an organized youth league. Great players have always come out of the Ivory Coast; I'm thinking of Laurent Pokou in the 1970s; and Youssou Fofana in the 1980s. But now the footballing infrastructure is much better and so many youngsters are getting the right coaching", said Henri Michel (former coach of the Côte d'Ivoire national soccer team). Ivory Coast won the African Cup of Nations in 1992.
Ivory Coast went far in the 2008 Olympics but stumbled at the last hurdle by losing to Nigeria 2-0 in quarter finals.
