“Drogba” said:

“Football is everyone's sport, football brings people together, and football unites.

“We can see it today with all these people gathered in front of the headquarters of the Ivorian football federation.

”It's no secret that our football is going badly, and that is why with my team we are committed to contributing to the rebirth of Ivorian football.

“If my goal was not driven by a deep desire to give back to Ivorian football all that it has given me, to contribute to the development of football in my country, and if God was not in this candidacy, it would be difficult to be in front of you today,”

“Drogba” remains his country's highest goal scorer with 65 goals in 105 appearances and is the third most capped player after “Kolo Toure” who has 120 and “Didier Zokora” with 123 caps respectively.
