FILE - In this Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012 file photo, Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba scores his first of two goals in Ivory Coast's African Cup of Nations qualifying match against Senegal, at Leopold Sedar Senghor Stadium in Dakar, Senegal. South Africa's second big football party in less than three years will likely be all about whether Drogba and Ivory Coast can finally be the ones celebrating at the end. Ghana is the Ivorians' closest challenger, Zambia is determined to put up a strong defense of its title and South Africa hopes to be carried to the final stages on a wave of home support. But Ivory Coast, the top-ranked team in Africa and blessed with the continent's richest talent, again enters as overwhelming favorite to lift a first title over 20 years and give Drogba a long-awaited trophy with his national team.
