Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue have been threatened with disciplinary action by the Turkish Football Federation for violating a ban on wearing political slogans on T-shirts, triggering outrage on Twitter.
Turkish Sports Minister Suat Kilic called on the federation to review its decision against the two star players with Istanbul giants Galatasaray.
"I don't find it a healthy choice in terms of Turkey's image abroad and the two footballers' [freedom of] expression," he said.
Drogba removed his club shirt after a match at the weekend against SB Elazigspor to reveal a T-shirt that read "Thank You Madiba", using Mandela's clan name.
Teammate Eboue also honoured the South African anti-apartheid hero who died on Thursday with a T-shirt that said "Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela".

Papa ameeleza kazi hii ya kufariji, ina uwezo wa kubadili yote. Bwana, kweli ana uwezo wa kuviumba vyote upya .
