Saturday 09-05-2026
The young striker Angie Yuan Boni has made a final decision regarding his international career, choosing to represent the Ivory Coast national team instead of the French national team, a move that has garnered significant interest within European and African football circles.

According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, the player has decided to change his sporting nationality with immediate effect after receiving the green light from the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), making him officially eligible to represent "The Elephants" starting from the upcoming period.

Boni is considered one of the most promising rising talents at Inter Milan, having delivered outstanding performances this season and contributed to the team's victory in the Italian league. This has attracted significant attention from both the French and Ivorian football federations.

The player had previously represented France's youth teams, but ultimately chose to defend the colors of Côte d'Ivoire, a decision seen as a significant boost for the Ivorian national team ahead of upcoming international commitments, most notably the 2026 World Cup.

Bony is expected to be called up for the upcoming Ivory Coast squad, with great anticipation for his first official appearance in the "Elephants" jersey.
