Torino defender Wilfried Singo says playing for Ivory Coast at the Olympics in the men's football tournament is a privilege but also a responsibility. Ivory Coast begin their Group D campaign against Saudi Arabia on Thursday before tough games against Brazil on 25 July and Germany three days later. "It's a privilege to represent the Ivory Coast at the Olympic Games - now it's up to us to live up to our fans' expectations. Singo made his debut for Ivory Coast last month as coach Patrice Beaumelle selected him for friendlies against first Burkina Faso and then Ghana. "It will be with determination, concentration, hard work and humility, as well as having a good season with Torino," he added.
