Election of the next president of the FIF (Ivorian Football Federation), a debate that raises great questions.

While a majority of Ivorians back the former Elephants captain's candidacy, others say ex-international Didier Drogba simply has no place at the helm of FIF. This is the case of the sports journalist Martial Bohourou who had launched spades at the former captain the day after the inauguration of the Abdoulaye Wade stadium in Senegal, declaring this:
"He was present in Dakar but absent in Abidjan during the inauguration of the Allassane Ouattara Olympic stadium in Ebumpé (...) Tuesday, February 22, 2022 during the inauguration of the Abdoulaye Wade stadium in Senegal, he arranged his schedule to be there. But when it comes to the inauguration of the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium in Ebimpé, in his country he was abroad”

And this Monday, April 11, 2022, the journalist again tackled the former captain by declaring that we must sanction Drogba for having violated the electoral code.

How far will he go in his attacks against Didier Drogba, whose candidacy for the election of the new president of the FIF he does not approve of?

All behind our champions

Serey Dié, Jean Evra Kouassi Crespo, Sylvain Gbohouo and Sangaré Ibrahim came out of quarantine and joined Patrice Beaumelle's group to take part in the training session on Monday January 3, 2022 in Jeddah. While awaiting the final decision of FIFA on his suspension for doping, Sylvain Gbohouo is preparing the CAN with the Elephants of Côte d'Ivoire.

Another blow for the Ivorian selection. While the friendly match against the selection of Comoros was scheduled for Monday, January 03, 2022, the Ivorian Football Federation decides that the match will not take place, for fear of a new wave of COVID-19 contamination.
