During the friendly match between France and Côte d’Ivoire, which ended with a 2-1 victory for France in Nantes, Côte d’Ivoire player Guela Doué made a notable impression. Doué, who scored for the Elephants against the French team, was observed singing La Marseillaise, the French national anthem. This gesture is particularly significant as it was performed in front of the French squad, which includes his brother, Désiré, who was rested for the match at Beaujoire stadium. The sports commentator Daniel Riolo, speaking on RMC’s program ‘After’, expressed his strong approval of Doué’s action, describing it as “fantastic.”
