ASEC's series of 108 matches unbeaten in the Ivory Coast championship

ASEC Mimosas from Abidjan held a world record of 108 consecutive matches unbeaten in a top level domestic league (having bettered Steaua's mark of 104 such matches), until it was surpassed by Johor Darul Ta'zim FC of Malaysia on August 21, 2026.
Only scant details are known on the series which comprised the entire 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 league seasons.

Known data:

1991    1.ASEC Abidjan            30  27  3  0  80- 9  57
1992    1.ASEC Abidjan            13  10  3  0  41-11  23 [first stage, group A]

1990-93   ASEC Abidjan            96  85 11  0        181 [total record]

1989-94   ASEC Abidjan           108  96 12  0        204 [entire series]

NB: coach 1990-1992: Philippe Troussier (France) ('Sorcier Blanc')
    coach 1993: Eustache Manglé (Ivory Coast)
    coach 1994: Charles Roessli (Switzerland)

season  round date      h/a  opponent                 score
1994    13    19/ 6/94  away SO Armée                  1-2 (in Yamoussoukro)

NB: apparently ASEC had won 11 and drawn 1 of their first 12 matches;
    and had last lost a league match on the final day of the 1989 season.
    In round 14, immediately after losing their invincibility record,
    ASEC trounced Man by 11-0 (8 goals by Ben Badi, a record), their
    record win and the record win in the history of the Ivorian league,
    later equalled by Africa Sports (who beat CO Korhogo 11-0 in 1999).
