The Ivory Coast international, renowned for his stellar performances on the pitch for Chelsea, is equally celebrated for his impactful work off the field, both in his homeland and around the globe. As the 64th Ballon d’Or ceremony approaches on December 2nd, the Chelsea legend is set to take on the role of emcee during the event.

Expressing his pride at being offered this ambassadorial role, Drogba emphasized the prestige associated with the trophy and his eagerness to be part of the celebration. Transitioning from the field to the stage presents a new challenge for Drogba, who admits that hosting the evening will be more daunting than playing in front of thousands of spectators. However, with a supportive team by his side, he feels confident and anticipates the start of rehearsals eagerly.
