The spotlight has been on Zaha in Ivory Coast’s sporting sphere for several months, notably due to his absence from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), a decision that triggered widespread speculation and online reactions.
Despite his stellar performances at the club level, Zaha’s omission from the national team under former coach Jean-Louis Gasset raised questions about his future with the Elephants.

Meanwhile, Zaha continues to ply his trade at Galatasaray, where he shares the pitch with teammate Serge Aurier.
In a light-hearted moment captured in a viral video, Zaha surprised many by confidently declaring his proficiency in French, debunking assumptions about his language skills.
The exchange between Zaha and Aurier exemplifies the camaraderie between the two Ivorian stars, showcasing their rapport and shared sense of humor. Aurier, known for his wit, playfully teased Zaha during a dinner, eliciting laughter from both players and providing a glimpse into their bond off the field.
As Zaha prepares to return to action following a period of injury, his imminent comeback to the Ivory Coast national team is eagerly anticipated by fans.
With discussions underway regarding his potential reintroduction to the squad, Zaha’s revelation about his French fluency adds an intriguing dimension to his footballing journey and his relationship with his fellow players.
Amidst the anticipation surrounding Zaha’s return, Ivorian football enthusiasts eagerly await his reunion with the Elephants, hoping for renewed success on the international stage and further moments of camaraderie with his compatriots.
