Ivorian football authorities strengthen National Technical Directorate

Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire (PANA) - The Ivorian football authorities are strengthening the country's game by recruiting the services of four legends.

A statement from the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) on Wednesday said the National Technical Directorate had called up Abdoulaye Traoré, known as Ben Badi, Oumar Ben Salah, Lucien Kassy Kouadio and Eugène Beugré Yago in a bid to improve the performance of clubs and national teams.

The former stars are part of the victorious Ivorian side in the 1992 Africa Cup of Nations held in Senegal.
