The streets of Abidjan were the scene of wild celebrations on Wednesday night following the surprise qualification of the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire for the Round of 16 at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.
Both the old, young, male and female storm the streets chanting and expressing joy at the new development After their shocking group stage collapse, culminating in a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea, the odds were stacked against the hosts.

But Morocco did the Elephants a huge favour by beating Zambia 1-0 in San Pedro, making the impossible possible. Cote d’Ivoire are now in the knockout phase as one of the best four third-placed teams.
Before the lucky qualification, the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) earlier on Wednesday released an official statement saying they had terminated the contract of 70-year-old French coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his assistant Ghislain Printant.
Gasset, who has coached for more than 35 years in and Spain, took over in Cote d’Ivoire from Patrice Beaumelle in May 2022.

Congrats to Ivory Coast 🇨🇮

Ojoro... Ghana deserve to qualify to

Good for them. The Elephants should try their best to win the bronze medal at least, while the super eagles should go for the gold

They will still be beaten. They are not good enough

Lol 😂

Don't be surprised same CIV Morocco helped would later knock Morocco out and eventually win the trophy.
2002 World cup, Brazil sneaked in like this and won the cup.
Just the last AFCON here, Super Eagles Flew to the round of 16 in style but was knocked out by Tunisia who struggled to qualify as one of best third.

Brazil topped group C with 9 points in 2002. How did they then sneak into the round of 16? Please make me understand.

Portugal finished as best losers in 2016 but, they went all the way to win the cup(Euro 2016)

Putting your survival in the hands of others is not the best way to go. This jubilation and their qualification is not dignified

What happens to the sacked coach

Damnnn niggar

Good for them

But to me I think they are only delaying thier exit from the tournament because the round sixteen they will be humiliated

Lol... people that Senegal would send packing next week.

Anyways as hosts they really deserved to qualify. So they should enjoy the moment.

😆😆😆
People that Senegal will soon send home.

Modified
I forgot that they are already at home🤦🏽‍♂️

If or when Senegal sends you people packing, will the celebration continue?!!

...And una don rush go sack Coach.

Happiness wey no go last cuz I just checked.....Na senegal wey no get joy for this AFCON dem wan play next

Is Senegal a joke to these people?

Can they win Senegal? Remains a big question to answer.

Pierohandsome:

you can never say o, this is football.

Note to everyone:

Go and read your Bible.

How will they win Senegal. I don't see that coming.

For super eagles OUR DEFENCE is okay to manage but MIDFIELD.....

U N D E S E R V E D …but it’s a chance for them to fix up

What will happen if their win the tournament

But Portugal never lost a single match

The sad thing is that they are going to knock Senegal out !!!


Watch how all these losers ( bcs there's nothing like best loser ) become monsters to their opponents in the competition.

The worst thing in life is to pick up a fight against a loser, the man that's down they say, "fears no fall".


Senegal won just one match in the group stage of afcon 2021 and they went on to be the champions. If not for that dubious penalty awarded by the ref to them that enable them to win their last group match and scored their only goal in the group stage, they wouldn't have qualified for the next stage.

Sometimes your form in the group stage of this kind of competition means nothing.

The end justifies the means !!!
