President of Liberia and former footballer George Weah visited his old club Al Jazira on Wednesday and partook in an impromptu training session at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
The 52-year-old 1995 Ballon d’Or and Fifa World Player of the Year award winner assumed office as his country’s head of state last January.
He is now in the UAE capital for bilateral talks with Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
During his visit to the Presidential Palace however, he nipped next door to Emirates Palace’s playing fields for a quick kick-about, proving that old habits die hard.
