Chelsea’s Didier Drogba led a host of Ivory Coast politicians in a special exhibition football match in Abidjan.
The line up included President Alassane Ouattara and Prime Minister Guillaume Soro in front of a packed stadium. The game was to raise money for the country’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign which kicks off in two weeks in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
The prime minister’s two goals gave his side victory.
Drogba will captain his country who will be hoping for similar scores when his side take part in the 16-nation tournament.
