Former FIFA World Player of the Year Zinedine Zidane will travel to Niger as part of a United Nations humanitarian project.
The 35-year-old French superstar plans to visit Niger President Mamadou Tandja and monitor the development of a football academy in the African country.
The Algerian-born legend will train and coach the aspiring youngsters at the Technical Football Centre in an attempt to harness and unearth undiscovered talent.
"I am really enthusiastic about visiting all these activities that are so important.
"I always wanted, after retiring from professional football, to visit this part of Africa and make a contribution, as best I can, paying particular attention to Niger."
