It will be a story of David and Goliath when Ivory Coast hosts the Tanzanian national team in Abdijan. Why is Ivory Coast so high up in ranking? Because of the arsenal of world class players that they have produced over the years.
Active and smooth Player production conveyer belt, grassroots scouting, active participation in young age groups world class competitions, active and competitive widely spread football academies, sober administration for the players and not over the players, is the key that every nation must use to unlock its talent potential.
