Didier Drogba
Leyenda del fútbol y artesano de la paz
El delantero que usó el fútbol para ayudar a detener una guerra civil.
El ascenso
Drogba se convirtió en uno de los delanteros más temidos del mundo, llevó al Chelsea a su primer título de la Liga de Campeones y brilló con Costa de Marfil.
Lo que hicieron
At the height of his fame he knelt on live TV to plead for peace in Ivory Coast's civil war — a moment credited with helping spur a ceasefire — and funded hospitals at home.
El cuadro completo
Football diplomacy has limits and Ivory Coast's divisions ran deep, but his moral influence was real.
Por qué importa
Drogba showed an athlete's platform can serve a nation, not just a trophy cabinet.
“We proved that Ivorians can live side by side. Please, lay down your weapons.”
