The Africa team will feature two members who have won the African player of the year three times - Eto'o of Cameroon and Abedi Pele of Ghana - and 1995 world player of the year, George Weah of Liberia.

Led by Pele, the 'Rest of the World Team' also includes 1987 European player of the year Ruud Gullit of the Netherlands and 1998 World Cup-winner Christian Karembeu of France.

The match also has winners of all of the major titles in world soccer, including the World Cup, the European Championship, the African Cup of Nations and the Champions League.
