Former Arsenal stars Thierry Henry and Mesut Ozil are reportedly to compete in a new over-35s World Cup kicking off this summer.
Organised by the Elite Players Group (EPG), eight nations will compete in England later this year with each previous World Cup winner taking place in the competition.
A number of huge names are due to take part in the tournament, such as Brazilian icons Ronaldinho and Kaka as well as former Ballon d’Or winner Fabio Cannavaro.
And according to the Daily Mail, Arsenal legend Henry and former playmaker Ozil are all tipped to feature for France and Germany respectively in the tournament.
Having only retired just last year, Ozil will be one of the youngest competitors in the competition, with Germany also set to call up former Real Madrid teammate Sami Khedira.
Indeed, the tournament could be a blast if organised correctly, and the likes of Henry and Ozil could be stars for their respective nations if they turn up and put on a show for the crowd.
Former Arsenal stars Thierry Henry and Mesut Ozil can dominate in new World Cup
The idea of getting eight nations together and throwing out a team with their best ever players from yesteryear is something football fans will jump on immediately.
And for Henry and Ozil, the former Arsenal players could dominate the competition given their age and their obvious qualities despite both being retired.
As mentioned, Ozil will be one of the youngest players taking part in this new tournament, and the former Germany international could be the star of the whole show if the four-time world champions go the distance.
Morover, Arsenal fans will be eager for both players to do well, especially if rival players throw their hat into the ring to compete in the tournament this summer.
