Ivory Coast's 2023 AFCON victory was the most dramatic in tournament history. As hosts (tournament hosted across Abidjan, San Pédro, Korhogo venues — early 2024), they finished bottom of their group with 1 point from 2 games and were nearly eliminated. Then, through a format rule allowing 4 of the 6 third-placed group teams to advance, they scraped through. They then beat Senegal (AFCON defending champions) in the Round of 16, Egypt in the quarter-finals, and DRC in the semi-finals before beating Nigeria 2-1 in the final — both goals coming in the second half to overturn a 1-0 deficit. Sébastien Haller scored both goals including the 81st-minute winner.
