Didier Drogba

Drogba says he wasn’t among the soccer players to sign a petition
protesting the decision to hold next year’s European under-21
championship in Israel.
He was among 62 names listed on a
petition last Friday supporting Palestinian groups. The petition was
organised by former Tottenham and Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoute.
Drogba is a former Chelsea striker from
the Ivory Coast who now plays in Shanghai. He said in a statement
Tuesday he did not sign this petition or ‘’give my support to this
initiative’’ because he never gets involved ‘’in any conflicts, even in
my own country.’’
Drogba says he tries to ‘’work for peace
and reconciliation’’ and ‘’fight against any forms of injustice or
discrimination’’ through his own foundation.
