Yaya Toure has thrown his support behind Didier Drogba in the ongoing race to become president of the Ivorian Football Association (FIF).
The Chelsea legend announced he would be running for the post in September 2019, though his campaign took a major hit at the end of April.
In a recent vote between former Ivory Coast players, 11 of the 14 votes went to current incumbent Sory Diabate. Drogba and current vice president Idriss Diallo won zero votes between them, with three former players withdrawing from the vote.
