Football in Côte d'Ivoire

The first Goal Project
All coaching facilities were previously under private management (clubs) or fell under the patronage of the Ministry of Sport. However, a technical centre planned for the national association as part of Goal is set to buck that trend. The project was approved by the Goal Bureau on 1 May 2003. Thanks to financial assistance from FIFA, the national association has been able to organise a very promising, nationwide youth development initiative over the last three years. Competitions at U-10, U-12, U-15, U-18 and U-20 levels have been organised in all regions of Côte d'Ivoire in an effort to bring together the most talented players in each age group at regional and later national level and thus safeguard the future of Côte d'Ivoire football on the international stage. As part of this scheme, courses are also being held for coaches and officials.
