Original Puma football shirt Ivory Coast World Cup 2006

Ivory Coast was one of the participating countries at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. It was the very first time in history that the country was present at the final tournament. Although Ivory Coast made its debut, the country had previously proven its worth. They had already won the African Cup once. That victory was achieved in 1992, while in 2006 the final was lost to Egypt. Of the sixteen participations in the Africa Cup, "Les Éléphants" reached the semi-finals or further seven times.
