White balloons bid fans "Akwaba" or "Welcome" in the local Akan language, team shirts are selling like hot cakes at the markets and the national side's colours already adorn adverts in the streets.But for market stallholders who usually sell figurines, masks and fabric, business in replicas of the Ivorian team's shirts that sell for around 10 euros ($11) is brisk.
