Former Basketball player Dennis Rodman is headed to North Korea for the third time on December 18.
Rodham will spend several days in the country helping train the North Korean basketball team.
The team will play one exhibition game against former NBA players in January, Paddy Power, the UK-based online betting company sponsoring Rodman's trip said.
According to CNN, he will be traveling with a documentary crew, Paddy Power spokesman Rory Scott said.
But it's not clear whether Rodman will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who is a good friend of the football player.
Scott said the names of the former NBA players Rodman has drafted to play in January will be released sometime next week, the report added.
