Despite securing an automatic qualification for the 2023 AFCON, Jean-Louis Gasset’s team has been impressive in the qualifiers, winning all but one of their four group matches so far. They have been in a stellar form and have showcased their quality throughout the qualifying campaign.

The only blemish on Ivory Coast’s record in the qualifiers came in a match against Lesotho last June. Veselin Jelusic’s team produced an exceptional defensive performance at the Dobsonville Stadium, which resulted in a well-earned draw and denied Ivory Coast a victory.

Overall, Ivory Coast has been dominant in the qualifiers, displaying their strength and determination as they aim to make their mark in the upcoming AFCON tournament.
