Abu Dhabi: Sporting stars are set to descend on Abu Dhabi later this month following this week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
Football legend Peter Schmeichel will captain a celebrity team against the 2014 Ryder Cup-winning captain Paul McGinley’s professional golfers at the 2017 Abu Dhabi Invitational on January 28-29 at Yas Links.
Schmeichel will be joined by his former Manchester United teammate Dwight Yorke, as well as other footballing greats Ruud Gullit, Ronald de Boer, Roberto di Matteo, Gabriel Batistuta, Hasan Salihamidzic and Liam Brady.
