Kaka currently plays football in Italy for Milan, but hopes to be able represent his native Brazil in the Olympics. Since he’s won, oh, everything a footballer can win, I’d be surprised if we don’t see him in Beijing in August!

ROME, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) — World player of the year Kaka said Thursday he hopes to play for Brazil in Beijing Olympic Games in August.

AC Milan’s striker Kaka has won almost every club and individual honor there is in football except one title, that of Olympic champion.

Indeed, it is the only title Brazil have yet to win despite being crowned world champions a record five times.

Speaking at a World Food Program ‘Fill the Cup’ campaign, Kaka admitted he would like to be selected as one of the three players over 23 years of age permitted in each squad in China.

“I would like to (play) but I will leave it up to the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) and Milan to decide,” he said.
