Awards for Excellence

Kolo Abib Touré

Kolo Abib Touré captains English Premier League club Manchester City and plays for the Ivorian national team. He previously played for Arsenal, where Touré helped the team win the FA Cup, Premier League and Community Shield. He was also runner up with Arsenal in a number of other competitions in which they took part. For his country, the Ivory Coast, he was runner up in the African Cup of Nations in 2006. With humble beginnings from his native Ivory Coast, Touré has not allowed the glitz and glamour of the Premier League get to him, crediting his faith and spirituality for his success. This was most notably displayed in Ramadan where he insisted on both fasting and playing superbly for his team.
