Real Madrid striker Emmanuel Adebayor has confirmed that he will play in this month\u2019s charity match organised by Michael Essien to promote peace in Africa.<\/p>\n
The charity game scheduled for Accra on 25 May will see a star-studded World XI side playing a crack Africa XI side.<\/p>\n
Adebayor, who resides in the Ghanaian capital when he\u2019s in Africa, delayed his confirmation because of club commitments.<\/p>\n
But with Real Madrid out of the Champions League, the Togo international is available to help promote peace in Africa.<\/p>\n
Adebayor\u2019s local manager Foussena Djagba, who is also the the manager of Z-Sports International confirmed the Real Madrid star\u2019s participation in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdebayor will also be coming to Accra to play in the peace game to help promote peace in Africa,\u201d Djagba said.<\/p>\n
\u201cImportant matches and events like this is what Adebayor wants to support and he\u2019s happy to come and help Essien promote peace for our continent.<\/p>\n
Adebayor will be mobbed by the fans when he arrives in Ghana before the game as he already has a fan club based in Accra.<\/p>\n
Another player confirming his participation is Paolo Maldini, the Italy legend.<\/p>\n
Several top world class players will play for the the Rest of the World XI, which will contain the Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda.<\/p>\n
The Africa team is set to include Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto\u2019o of Internazionale, and Manchester City\u2019s Tour\u00e9 brothers, Kolo and Yaya.<\/p>\n
Essien, who is an African Union peace ambassador, said he has \u201cspoken to Paolo Maldini and many other great players\u201d.<\/p>\n
George Weah, the former world player of the year, now 44, is expected to feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
