“It is not so much being president of the FIF that interests me, but it is the mission which binds this function”, Drogba said.

“Our football is going badly (and) we are committed to contributing to the rebirth of Ivorian Football”, he added.

“I am back and determined to contribute my stone to the edifice, to the renewal and to the development of Ivorian football.

“Believing that it is very important for me to give back to Ivorian football everything that it has given me” he concluded.

The 42-year-old former striker of Olympique de Marseille and Chelsea resigned from professional football in 2018.

Drogba will be contesting this post with Idriss Diallo, Sory Diabate, and Koffi Kouakou Paul in the 05 September FIF elections.
