Award
African Examiner
Published: February 4, 2008
Ivorian strong man Didier Drogba has blasted the
Confederation of African Football (CAF) for stripping
him off the 2007 African Footballer of the year. CAF
had given the award to Fredrick Kanuote of Mali who
was the runner up following Drogba refusal to attend
the award ceremony in Lome the Togo Capital. Drogba
told BBC that he does not want to be considered for
any future African footballer of the year saying CAF
action was done in bad taste. He said ''I was told if I
didn't appear the rules would change and the prize
would go to the runner-up .This attitude doesn't honour
Africa so I've pulled out of future elections."

their matches. They played
with all frivolity you can
think of, and they were
adequately punished with a
deserved lone goal in
favour of the Ivorians. Read
