Yes. He is still playing.

Didier Drogba, 39 years young, has an ownership stake in Phoenix Rising FC in Arizona.

The Chelsea legend is also their second-highest goalscorer this season with eight goals in 13 appearances.

Drogba scored a superb solo goal on Saturday in their 4-1 victory over Portland Timbers II in their USL clash with the Ivorian dancing past multiple Portland defenders before slotting home into the far corner.

With the win in their regular-season home finale Phoenix clinched fifth place in the USL’s Western Conference and they will now travel to Swope Park Rangers FC next Saturday in the playoffs.

Take a look at the video below as he continues to rip it up in North America’s second-tier.
