Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of just over a thousand people who will be given the honor of acting as a torchbearer for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Milan, the Swedish football legend announced on Instagram.

The two-month-long torch relay began last week with the lighting of the Olympic flame in Olympia, Greece. The torch will then pass through a series of Greek and Italian cities before being inaugurated at Ibrahimovic's former home stadium, San Siro, in Milan on February 6.

The Winter Olympics will be held in Milano-Cortina and will run until February 22.
