Ivory Coast won the highest scoring penalty shoot-out in full international history when they beat Cameroon 12-11 in the 2006 African Cup of Nations.

Going into the 2010 World Cup, Ivory Coast is the only country that has never failed to score in a World Cup finals match, having scored in all three of their games in 2006 against Argentina, the Netherlands and Serbia and Montenegro.

Ivopry Coast's greatest moment so far was their 1992 Africa Cup of Nations victory, when they beat by an incredible 11-10 on penalties. It was the first time every player on the pitch had to take a penalty in a major international tournament.
