Drogba has playing terrific football for Rising FC here in 2018. Didier and I spoke at great length last month about his future and he spoke about the transition from player to owner. Drogba has a soccer camp in Prescott scheduled for next month, it’s unclear when he would leave Rising FC for his broadcast duties. Rising FC stands in second place in the USL Western Conference table, just one point behind Real Monarchs SLC. Rising FC will be at home this Saturday night against Sacramento Republic FC.
