Mandela tribute
The Turkish Football Federation has summoned
Ivorian internationals Didier Drogba and Emmanuel
Eboue for paying homage to Nelson Mandela after a
league game, news reports said on Sunday.
Drogba, who plays for Turkish giants Galatasaray,
removed his club shirt after a match on Friday
against SB Elazigspor to reveal a T-shirt that read
"Thank You Madiba".
His teammate Eboue also honoured the South
African anti-apartheid hero, who died aged 95 on
Thursday, with a T-shirt that said "Rest in Peace
Nelson Mandela".
The federation said the two players faced disciplinary
action for breaching a ban on wearing political
slogans and messages on T-shirts, according to the
Milliyet and Hurriyet daily newspapers.
