The name's inspiration comes straight from Brazil where, in 1973, 20 Ivorian students were given the chance to spend a month's football pilgrimage by their then-president. Football was already played on small pitches throughout ivory coast, but the Maracana version codifies the rules "With an Ivorian flavour".
