Guelassiognon Sylvain Gbohouo (born 29 October 1988) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Ivory Coast national team. Gbohouo made his debut for the national team on 6 July 2013, in a 4–1 loss against Nigeria at the 2014 African Nations Championship qualification. He was part of the team that played in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but did not make an appearance. He was Ivory Coast's starting goalkeeper at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations as they went all the way to the final, but a thigh injury sustained in the semi-final against DR Congo saw him miss out the final match in favour of veteran Boubacar Barry. He was still named the tournament's best goalkeeper, and since Barry's retirement, Gbohouo has been the Elephants' undisputed number one.
