On Tuesday, the NBA revealed the rosters for the All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night.
Cafu has been announced as a shock name who will be involved in the NBA‘s All-Star Celebrity Game on February 15.
He hung up his boots in 2008, ending a trophy-laden career which saw him lift the World Cup twice.
But Cafu has decided to make a surprise sport switch after signing up to shoot some hoops.
The All-Star Celebrity Game is expected to be watched by close to FIVE MILLION fans.
And Cafu is set to be joined on the court by some other huge names in the sporting world.
He will be coached by the likes of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and World Series-winning baseball icon Mookie Betts at the Intuit Dome.
Cafu is on course to have former Boston Celtics man Tacko Fall and Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St Brown among his team-mates.
