Ivory's President Laurent Gbagbo (L) speaks with football star player Didier Drogba at Felix Houphouet-Boigny stadium before attending a football match between Malawi and Ivory Coast in Abidjan on March 29, 2009. At least 19 people died and more than 130 were injured the day before when hundreds of fans tried to force their way into Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium as the match against Malawi got under way. Government officials began investigating the cause of the deadly crush amid accusations that the huge crowd was swelled by non-ticket holders who had bribed their way past security.
