Zaha switches from England to Ivory Coast

CRYSTAL Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has decided to switch his international allegiance to Ivory Coast from England.

The 24-year-old was able to make the switch to Ivory Coast as his two England caps came in friendlies, against Sweden in 2012 and Scotland in 2013. “The Ivorian-English attacking midfielder Wilfried Zaha has chosen to play for the Elephants, under the colors of the Ivory Coast, his country of origin,” the Ivorian Football Federation said in a statement. “In the presence of his father, of Augustin Sidy Diallo (president of the FIF) and Michel Dussuyer (Elephants coach), he signed at the bottom of the demand to change his sporting nationality addressed to FIFA.”
