Squad Explanation
-- Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure are automatic selection. Both won the African Player of the Year. Yaya Touré won the award four consecutive times from 2011 to 2014. Drogba won it twice.
-- Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure led a Golden Generation of players. Gervinho, Salomon Kalou, Didier Zokora, Cheick Tioté, Siaka Tiéné, Arthur Boka, Abdoulaye Méïté, Serge Aurier, Emmanuel Eboue, Boubacar Barry and Kolo Toure also made my all-time team. Including Drogba and Yaya, I have 13 players from this generation.
-- The 1992 African Nations Cup was their first major trophy. From that team, I selected Alain Gouaméné, Serge Maguy and Youssouf Fofana. They beat Cameroon in the semi-final by a penalty shootout and then, beat Ghana in the Final by a penalty shootout.
-- Liked most African teams, the oldest players played in the 1960's. Ivory Coast finished in the top 4 in the three straight African Cup of nations: 1965, 1968 and 1970. My all-time team included four players from that era. Joseph Bléziri, Ernest Kallet Bialy, Henry Konan and Laurent Pokou
-- Laurent Pokou was considered one of the greatest players from Ivory Coast before the emerge of the recent Golden Generation. Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure simply had better exposure around the world than Pokou who spent some time playing in France. Pokou was second highest all-time scorer in the history of Africa Cup of Nations.
-- Joseph Bléziri was legend playing in Ivory Coast's domestic league. He scored the winning goal for Stade d'Abidjan to win the 1966 African Cup of Champions Clubs.
-- I also took Ernest Kallet Bialy who was a rival of Laurent Pokou. I do not really know how to rank old-timers when Afrcian football was not a power in football. Besides him being a member of Ivory Coast's team in the 1960's, I selected him because of nostalgic reason. It is good to spread the team around. I have Bialy and Bléziri over Wilfried Bony who played in the modern era.
-- Wilfried Bony was the Dutch Player of the Year in the 2012-2013 season. I have Dider Drogba, Laurent Pokou, Youssouf Fofana and Joseph Bléziri over him. He might deserve a place over Youssouf Fofana. Both players helped Ivory Coast to win an African Cup of Nations. I took Youssouf Fofana basically I wanted to spread the team around and the 1992 team was under represented. Bony is a victim of playing alongside Dider Drogba in the 2014 World Cup Finals. His generation is well-covered on this team.
-- Only five players from my all-time team never played domestic football in France. Emmanuel Eboue was one of the five. My Senegal All-Time team might have many players who played there, but I have not looked into it.
-- For the third keeper, I chose Boubacar Barry over Jean-Jacques Tizié. Barry played more international matches.
-- Eric Bailly is still too young for consideration. He probably would become a member of this team since some of the players here were only journeyman playing in Europe. He has already established himself at a top European club at the time of writing (2019).
-- Kolo Toure is Yaya Toure's brother. He also had a great career in England. Emmanuel Eboue played with him at Arsenal. They were probably the most famous players from here after Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba.
-- I do not know much about Ignace Wognin, Yoboué Konan and Jean Tokpa.
-- Didier Zokora is currently their most capped player. He also has a good career with Tottenham Hotspurs.
-- The selection of Salomon Kalou was based upon his career in the Premiership. I took him over Abdoulaye Traoré and Joël Tiéhi. Both players were on the 1992 African Cup of Nations winning team. Kalou was very famous due to playing with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.
-- I studied hard on Tchiressoua Guel. He played over 70 times for the Elephants. His career was sandwiched between the 1992 African Cup of Nations and the years that Ivory Coast qualified for the World Cup Finals. So he did not have the glory of the other generations. However, he was Lique top scorer in 1997. He deserved a spot, but only made honorable mention.
-- Ibrahima Bakayoko was highly rated in the French league, but he failed to impress with Everton. He only made honorable mention.

-- Eric Bailly is still too young for consideration. He probably would become a member of this team since some of the players here were only journeyman playing in Europe. He has already established himself at a top European club at the time of writing (2019).
-- Kolo Toure is Yaya Toure's brother. He also had a great career in England. Emmanuel Eboue played with him at Arsenal. They were probably the most famous players from here after Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba.
-- I do not know much about Ignace Wognin, Yoboué Konan and Jean Tokpa.
-- Didier Zokora is currently their most capped player. He also has a good career with Tottenham Hotspurs.
-- The selection of Salomon Kalou was based upon his career in the Premiership. I took him over Abdoulaye Traoré and Joël Tiéhi. Both players were on the 1992 African Cup of Nations winning team. Kalou was very famous due to playing with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.
-- I studied hard on Tchiressoua Guel. He played over 70 times for the Elephants. His career was sandwiched between the 1992 African Cup of Nations and the years that Ivory Coast qualified for the World Cup Finals. So he did not have the glory of the other generations. However, he was Lique top scorer in 1997. He deserved a spot, but only made honorable mention.
-- Ibrahima Bakayoko was highly rated in the French league, but he failed to impress with Everton. He only made honorable mention.
