Former Chelsea Striker, Didier Drogba, has been cleared to stand in the long-delayed elections to be the next president of Ivory Coast’s Football Federation, FIF.
A total of six candidates, including outgoing Vice President, Idriss Diallo, have been approved by FIF’s FIFA-installed normalisation committee to stand in the polls on Saturday, April, twenty-third.
The election, which was originally scheduled to be carried out in September Twenty Twenty, was postponed because of ongoing issues over the eligibility of certain candidates, including Drogba.
After intervention from FIFA, Drogba, who won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League across two spells with Chelsea, retains his hopes of running the game in the West African country.
