The Côte d'Ivoire national football team (sometimes written " Ivory Coast " in English), nicknamed Les Éléphants (The Elephants), is the national team of Côte d'Ivoire and is controlled by the Fédération Ivoirienne de Football. Until 2005, their greatest accomplishment was winning the 1992 African Cup of Nations against Ghana on penalties at the Stade de l'Amitie in Dakar, Senegal . On 8 October 2005, they qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, marking their first appearance on the World Cup finals stage. They were unable to qualify for the second round after losing to teams such as Argentina and the Netherlands in the so-called "Group of death". However, They did manage to win one game in Germany against Serbia and Montenegro, coming back from a 2–0 deficit to win 3–2 on a late penalty kick by Bonaventure Kalou .
