Emerse Fae explains the call-up of Elye Wahi to the Ivory Coast national team

The commitment and sincerity shown by Wahi in his desire to join the Elephants carried a lot of weight.

Elye Wahi has been called up to the Ivory Coast national team for the first time. The France-born player, who had previously expressed his desire to represent France on the international stage, has finally joined the Elephants. But his call-up has sparked a reaction in Ivory Coast. When questioned on the subject at a press conference, the manager of the Ivorian national team admitted that he had completely revised his stance on the player

I was one of those who had definitively closed the door on Wahi for the national team. Since last June, I have appreciated his commitment and sincerity in wanting to join the Elephants. As manager, I was able to take a step back after speaking with him. He convinced us with his words and his approach.
