Big plans ... Didier Drogba talks to Sun man Shaun Custis
Drogba had missed a 70th-minute penalty which would have won them the competition but the West African country still hailed the captain and his team-mates as if they were the champions.
Following last year's post-election civil war, which cost more than 3,000 lives, football brought together a country that had been on its knees.
Drogba is the leading symbol of the re-birth.
Through the Didier Drogba Foundation, set up five years ago, his priority is to get a £3million hospital built in Abidjan.
After that, a number of satellite clinics will be constructed in different parts of the country.
