DIDIER Drogba and Emmanuel
Eboue face fines from the
Turkish FA after displaying
vests bearing tributes to
Nelson Mandela. The two Ivory Coast
internationals unveiled their
personal messages after
Galatasaray’s game against
Elazigspor on Friday, their first
game after the death of South African icon Mandela. Chelsea legend Drogba peeled
off his shirt at the 2-0 win to
reveal a tribute which said:
‘Thank you Madiba’ and former
Arsenal defender Eboue’s vest
said: ‘Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela’. Eboue and Drogba The Turkish FA (TFF) are
planning to summon the
Galatasaray pair to appear
before the Professional
Football Discipline Committee
because they had not sought prior permission to display
their messages. It is in contrast to England
where games this weekend
have been preceded by a
minute of applause in
celebration of Mandela’s life
and his role in ending apartheid in South Africa and
transforming the international
profile of Africa. Plans to discipline Drogba and
Eboue are certain to attract
criticism and fuel debate in
Turkey, where the TFF are
trying to keep political imagery
out of football as directed by FIFA, although it has proved
increasingly difficult in a
football-crazy nation beset by
political tension.
