Franco-Ivorian goalkeeper Yahia Fofana wishes to play for the Ivory Coast national team during the African Cup of Nations football tournament.
According to information from the FIF (Ivorian Football Federation), the goalkeeper intends to participate in the 2023 AFCON with the Ivory Coast Elephants. “That’s all I can tell you for now,” our source says.
Previously, Yahia Fofana had been contacted by Patrice Beaumelle, who was in search of a goalkeeper, but he had rejected the proposal, thinking he could play for the French national team. “I don’t force anyone to join the national team. The desire to play must come from the player (…) The choice is his… I sent my assistant to see Yahia Fofana, goalkeeper at Le Havre. His choice, which is now his, is that he is not ready to come to the national team,” said Beaumelle in September 2021.
After some reflection, it appears that the SCO Angers player has finally made his decision. Fofana’s return to the Ivorian national team is highly anticipated, as he has removed all photos related to the French national team from his Instagram account.
