Purpose and description

Enable an AI agent to recognise Ivory Coast's senior men's national association-football team, assess its sporting and operational state, and identify actions permitted by selection authority and competition rules.

The Ivory Coast men's national football team is the senior men's association football representative team of Côte d'Ivoire, administered by the Fédération Ivoirienne de Football and competing within FIFA and the Confederation of African Football.

It can be Resolve a record labelled Ivory Coast or Côte d'Ivoire to this team after checking football code, sex, age category and selection restrictions.; Assemble a dated squad view that separates eligibility, call-up, registration and availability.; Assess qualification scenarios using verified standings, fixtures and the applicable tournament rules.; Compare sporting performance across coaching periods or competition editions using consistent match-counting rules.; Flag readiness gaps and route proposed roster or logistical actions to the responsible authorised role..

Distinguishing features

Represents Ivory Coast in senior men's international association football, rather than a club, another country or another football code.

Retains its identity across changes of coach, captain, squad, kit and home venue.

Uses national-team eligibility and selection criteria rather than club registration alone to determine who may represent it.

Requires age-category and competition checks to distinguish its records from Ivory Coast youth and Olympic teams.

Requires an explicit boundary decision for domestic-player-only selections, whose records must not automatically be merged with unrestricted senior-team records.

  • Which official identifiers and historical records establish the team's naming and continuity, including Ivory Coast and Côte d'Ivoire variants?

  • How should domestic-player-only Ivory Coast selections and their matches relate to this registry entry without changing its authoritative granularity?
  • Which authoritative sources and update cadence will support current squad, eligibility, fixture and competition-state claims, and how will conflicting records be represented?
