Didier Drogba Joins Richard Mille Family
Richard Mille recently welcomed international football star Didier Drogba to the family of men and women, athletes, and artists, who are committed to protecting and defending those in need, supported by the watchmaking brand, as per an official release.Drogba is the Cote-d’Ivoire record holder for goals scored and is considered to be one of the best offensive players to this day. A player who enjoyed the unequivocal admiration of supporters from the very first time, he played for some of the world’s greatest teams, including l’Olympique de Marseille, Chelsea FC, the Shanghai SIPG Football Club, and Galatasaray SK. His most successful years took place with the Chelsea Blues, whose jersey he wore in their four Premiere League titles, four FA Cups and victory in the UEFA Champions League, as per the release.“I’m a fan who was given a jersey. Exchanging with supporters and being loved by fans has been the greatest thing about my career,” Drogba confesses. In April 2017, he joined Phoenix Rising FC in USL, North America’s second division, as player and owner — he helped them reach USL finals before retiring in November 2018, according to the release.To jog your memory a bit, recall the time, October 8, 2005, when war-torn Cote-d’Ivoire qualified for its first World Cup in the country’s history, Didier Drogba spoke out on live television, exhorting everyone to “cohabitate and play together for a shared goal. A country with so much wealth cannot succumb to war. Lay down your weapons,” as per the release.Drogba has a non-profit foundation and among its initiatives are the construction of a pediatric outpatient centre in Abidjan, the building of a school in partnership with Nestle in Gagnoa, the creation of an original medial vehicle The Heart Mobile, which is dedicated to identifying cardiovascular illnesses in Cote-d’Ivoire, support for sustainable agriculture and more.“It is, therefore, no surprise to learn that Didier Drogba also serves as vice president for the non-profit Peace and Sport. ‘For more than a decade, I have been working to achieve peace and promote coexistence. This association is very much in my image, and fits with what I have achieved so far as a football player, as the political neutrality sport is appreciated by governments and states, which tend to be receptive’,” says the release.Off the pitch, Didier is a man of great heart and great commitment — a standard bearer for peace, especially through his actions on behalf of his Foundation Drogba.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the football star. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
