very devastating news! Ibrahim Toure; (pictured above) the younger brother to Ivory Coast players, the younger brother to Yaya and Kolo Toure, has passed on. He died yesterday 19th June in Manchester, United Kingdom. The Lebanese team Al-Safa SC player was aged 28.
A statement from the Ivorian FA reads, "The football Ivory Coast federation president (FIF) and the Executive Comitee announced to the entire family of Ivorian football the death of Toure Oyala Ibrahim, the younger brother of Toure Kolo Abib and Toure Yaya Gnegneri, which happened on the 19th of June in Manchester (England).
"In such a sad situation, the players from the Ivory Coast national team, and the entire delegation here in Brazil, show their support to the Toure brothers and their whole family. The president of Football Ivory Coast Federation and the Executive Comitee ask Ivorians for their prayers."
May his soul find repose and may God comfort the ones he left behind.
