Simba SC striker Ibrahim Doumbia was visibly emotional after the club’s fans approached the team bus and delivered a heartfelt message of support during a difficult period for the player.
The fans held a banner reading “WE ARE TOGETHER DOUMBIA, WE LOVE YOU,” assuring the Malian forward that they still believe in him and remain firmly behind him despite the challenges he has been facing.
The gesture deeply touched Doumbia, who appeared emotional after witnessing the support from the supporters. The message gave him renewed strength and made him feel that he was still supported by the Simba family, something he said has helped him get through the difficult period.

Following the gesture, Doumbia promised Simba supporters that he would continue working hard to regain his best form and help the team achieve success.
