Football stars play for Africa

Ivory Coast and Chelsea striker Didier Drogba
Drogba will help raise money for the charity Goal4Africa

The Ivory Coast and Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is among the stars set to play a charity match in Germany next week to help raise money for Africa.

A selection of the world's top players will face off on 12 July at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena to raise money for the charity Goal4Africa.

The project plans to raise funds for football development and educational programmes throughout the African continent.

Fans will make a donation for each goal scored by their favourite player.

Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o and Italian World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso will also be in Munich for the match.

Germany captain Michael Ballack and Liverpool's England midfielder Steven Gerrard are also expected to take part.

The idea is to help the continent prepare for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
