Following the rejection of Didier Drogba’s candidacy for the next Ivory Coast Football Federation (FIF) presidential elections, former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has called for the acceptance of ex-footballers in sports administration.
Gyan expressed his support for Drogba’s bid and has called for a fair playing ground ahead of next month’s election.
Drogba was declared ineligible to contest in the election by the Ivorian FA Electoral Commission this week because he did not meet the electoral requirements.
It was stated the former Chelsea and Galatasaray striker did not get enough nominations to back his candidacy but he has a five-day window to appeal the decision.
