History
The beginning
In 1985, almost no country in the world had a women's national football team,
The national team has trained in Abidjan.[14] As of 2006[update], the country did not have an under-17 or under-20 side.[7] In June 2012, the team was ranked 67th in the world by FIFA and the 6th best team in CAF.[15] This was an improvement of four places from March 2012 when they were ranked 71st in the world. The team's worst ever ranking was in 2011 when they were ranked 136th in the world. Other rankings include 73 in 2006, 75 in 2007, 74 in 2008, 92 in 2009, and 77 in 2010.[16]

Background and development
Early development of the women's game at the time colonial powers brought football to the continent was limited, as colonial powers in the region tended to take concepts of patriarchy and women's participation in sport with them to local cultures that had similar concepts already embedded in them.[17] The lack of later development of the national team on a wider international level symptomatic of all African teams is a result of several factors, including limited access to education, poverty amongst women in the wider society, and fundamental inequality present in the society that occasionally allows for female-specific human rights abuses.[18] When quality female football players are developed, they tend to leave for greater opportunities abroad.[19] Continent-wide, funding is also an issue, with most development money coming from FIFA, not the national football association.[19] Future success for women's football in Africa is dependent on improved facilities and access by women to these facilities. Attempting to commercialise the game and make it commercially viable is not the solution, as demonstrated by the current existence of many youth and women's football camps held throughout the continent.[17]
Football is the fourth most popular girls' sport, trailing behind
The national federation was created in 1960 and became FIFA affiliated in 1964.[7][20][21] Their kit includes orange shirts, white shorts and green socks.[20] The national committee does not have a full-time employee in charge of women's football.[7] Representation of women's football is not guaranteed in the federation's constitution.[7] The FIFA trigramme is CIV.[22] A FIFA-run women's MA football course was run in the country in 2007.[14]
