A welcome surprise awaited the Fraternité Matin football team on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026: two sets of jerseys and several footballs, donated by former Ivory Coast international Grazaï Sékala Stéphane.

The gift came through Ballon Pô, the NGO created by Sékala in 2011. His mother, Kadhy Bomou, delivered the equipment to the newspaper's offices. Bomou previously served as director of the National Ballet of Côte d'Ivoire and represents the NGO in the country.

Sékala, who now works in Belgium as assistant coach of Royal Star Fléronais, formerly known as Stère Francorchamps, described the donation as logistical and fraternal support. He said the NGO had selected the Fraternité Matin football team as part of its work supporting social initiatives and providing logistical assistance in several African countries.

The donation also reflects the former international player's continuing connection with Côte d'Ivoire, where his mother represented the organization during the handover.

It is within this framework that the Fraternité Matin football team was selected for this donation.
