Sulley Muntari, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have confirmed to be available in Port Harcourt for the Joseph Yobo Centenary Game scheduled for May 27 to celebrate the retirement of the former Super Eagles captain from football.

The Ghanaian trio reportedly confirmed their availability for the game to Yobo last weekend.

John Terry, Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney are also expected to grace the occasion along with a host of other players from Europe.

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.
