"The opponent is our Fifa Champion named mamadou kolon working for a bank in Guinea he has been crowned twice in a row as a champion on FIFA15 and FIFA16. He will be the one to represent my country in any case of African cup!!!" There is no doubt that France has not left any stone unturned for this match as the two gamers face off against each other."
