They will be joined by renowned players like John Terry, Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney.

Also confirmed for the match are top African players like Samuel Eto’o Fils, Djibrin Cisse and Tresor Lualua amongst others.

A former Super Eagles player, Waidi Akanni said on Wednesday in Lagos that the Yobo testimonial has continued to generate interests from past and present players from around the world.

"In the course of Yobo’s career that saw him clock 100 caps for Nigeria, he built so much goodwill around Europe. Anywhere you mention his name, people remember him with fond memories,” stressed Akanni.

The Joseph Yobo Foundation is in partnership with Rivers State Government for the Centenary Game at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in the Garden City.
