Legendary Brazilian forward Ronaldo has challenged tennis star Rafael Nadal to a live head-to-head poker match.
The 14-time Grand Slam champion has accepted the challenge with the game scheduled to take place on November 6th in London.
The global sports stars participated in the European Poker Tour Prague Charity Challenge last year raised £79,000 for various charities.
The matchup will be broadcasted live by Pokerstars.com.
Nadal beat Ronaldo and four other stars in their last meeting.
Tennis hero Nadal said: ‘It was my first live poker tournament when I last played against Ronaldo and one year later I’m more confident with my skill level.
‘I really enjoy playing poker and the challenge of learning as quickly as possible, so I can’t wait to get back into training on my game.’
Ronaldo added: ‘The last time we played together Rafa won and it was a lot of fun.
‘This time it will be different, though, because I have been improving on my poker strategy and will be more prepared.’
PokerStars will broadcast Ronaldo’s challenge live on September 22 at 7pm.
