COPA BARRY Official: If you haven't studied, travel. Anyone who travels a lot, is educated, said my late Father to me. When Baba left his native Dalaba he spoke only Peul. In Abidjan, my father was self-taught and spoke French fluently.
About me, Football allowed me to travel, to discover different cultures, to see many landscapes, to meet extraordinary people, to speak fluent Dutch, Capi Yaya Touré learned Ukrainian on my own.
Thanks to football I took part in several international competitions including the first World Cup organized on African soil.

Travel opens the mind, travel strengthens knowledge.
But beware, traveling is not just moving from one place to another, you can travel while talking with your neighbor. We can enrich ourselves with others.
