Africa Elections at FIF : Fifpro disengages from AFI for its choice

The AFI (Ivorian Football Association) sponsorship to Idriss Diallo to the detriment of Didier Drogba does not please many. Its parent structure, the Fifpro Africa (International Federation of Professional Footballers) could not understand.

The Fifpro indicates its disapproval in a tweet. “The Fifpro Africa Board dissociates itself from the position of AFI which refused to sponsor Didier Drogba, the FIF presidential candidate and deprives its founding member and vice-president of the legitimate support it was entitled to expect from its own family,” it reads.

Cameroonian Geremi Njitap is at the head of the Fifpro Africa.

In addition, Drogba’s candidacy for the IFF is at an impasse. since he had difficulty obtaining a sponsorship from an Interest Group. The remaining Group to have not yet granted sponsorship is the Doctors’ Association.
