Inter Milan’s Ange-Yoan Bonny Makes Nationality Switch to Ivory Coast Ahead of World Cup
In a significant move ahead of the looming World Cup, Inter Milan’s forward, Ange-Yoan Bonny, has officially switched his football nationality from France to the Ivory Coast. This decision was confirmed by FIFA, allowing the French-born player, who had previously represented France at the under-21 level, to be included in the Ivorian national team for the upcoming tournament.
At just 22 years old, Bonny is of Ivorian descent and is gearing up to be a pivotal part of the Ivory Coast’s 26-man squad, which is set to be announced on Friday. His performance in Serie A has been noteworthy this season, where he has emerged as a key substitute for Inter, contributing significantly with five goals that aided in the club’s triumph in securing the Serie A title.
This shift comes as the Ivory Coast prepares for their World Cup Group E matches, where they will face formidable opponents such as Ecuador, Germany, and Curacao. Bonny’s potential for participation in the tournament is being closely monitored, particularly as he may also have the opportunity to make his debut in an upcoming friendly against France in Lens on June 4th.
With this nationality change, Bonny joins a robust squad that will aim to make a significant impact on the world stage, showcasing his talent and commitment to representing the Ivory Coast.
