The country of birth is not "Costa Marfi" or "Costa Marfil"..the correct name is "Ivory Coast" or Cote d'Ivoire". This correction applies to ALL Ivory Coast players.

(Costa de marfil is the name of the Ivory Coast in Spanish, but the country's official language is French. In English speaking arenas, the country has been designated by the names "Cote d'Ivoire" or "Ivory Coast". The Ivory Coast has no historic link whatsoever with Spain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.185.66.58 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Place of Birth

First of all, in regards to the above comments, there is a City in Côte d'Ivoire named Costa Marfil. The country name has been added as needed.

Dindane's birth place, however, was recently changed to Abidjan. I cannot find any source stating this. In fact, most sources out there cite Costa Marfil as the place of birth, e.g.:

I'm changing it back to Costa Marfil. ChaChaFut 21:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
