Galatasaray pair Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue will be
punished by the Turkish FA (TFF) for the Nelson Mandela tributes that followed
their team’s 2-0 victory over Elazigspor on Friday. Former Chelsea striker
Drogba paid his respects to the former South African president and freedom
fighter, who died on Thursday aged 95, by removing his Gala jersey to reveal a
vest which read ‘Thank You Madiba’.
Drogba’s fellow Ivorian Eboue, formerly of Arsenal, followed
suit, donning a vest which read ‘Rest In Peace Nelson Mandela’.The TFF plans to summon both players before a disciplinary
committee as part of a wider crackdown on imagery and messages that they deem
to be political, with a fine or a likely sanction.
