Drogba's story of successfully stopping a war through football.
In 2005, a civil war was raging in Ivory Coast.
At the same time, the Ivory Coast national team was participating in the African qualification round for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Amidst the difficult circumstances of the war, the Ivory Coast national team faced a do-or-die match against Sudan, which would determine their qualification for the World Cup.
Ivory Coast had a chance to qualify for the World Cup if they won the match.
Despite being in the midst of war, Ivory Coast managed to defeat Sudan with a score of 3-1.
Two of the goals were scored by Drogba.
This result allowed Ivory Coast to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in history.
After the match, Drogba delivered a speech that was of great importance at the time.
In his speech, Drogba called for an immediate end to the war.
Eventually, both sides agreed to cease the war that had been ongoing for 5 years.
