A professional football club in Bolivia has signed President Evo Morales as a midfielder for next season.

The 54-year-old, an avid football fan, will play next season for Sport Boys, a team based in the south-eastern province of Santa Cruz.

According to the first division club, Morales will play for about 20 minutes per game, although not in every match due to his other commitment, running the country. He will receive the minimum salary, about $214 (£127).
