Guelassiognon Sylvain Gbohouo (born October 29, 1988) is an Ivorian footballer who plays for Mazembe as a goalkeeper. He has represented Côte d'Ivoire at international level.[1]

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.[2]
He was part of the team that played in the 2014 FIFA World Cup but did not make an appearance.[3]
He was Côte d'Ivoire'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.[4][5] He was still named the tournament's best goalkeeper, and since Barry's retirement Gbohouo has been the Elephants' undisputed number one.
