Diego Maradona will play in a testimonial match for former Brazilian international defender Julio Cesar at Borussia Dortmund on November 13, the German club announced on Monday.

Maradona, the newly slimline former Argentine great, is due to play for the "Julio and Friends" team against the Dortmund side that won the Champions League in 1997.

Julio Cesar, part of Brazil's 1986 World Cup squad, had two spells at Dortmund and helped them to that European Cup final in 1997, although he did not play in it.

Roger Milla of Cameroon and the Brazilians Claudio Taffarel, Bebeto and Carlos Dunga have also agreed to play, Dortmund said on their website.
