Giggs To Captain Team GB At London 2012 Olympics
Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has been named as Great Britain captain for the Olympics.
The 38-year-old is one of three over-age players selected in Stuart Pearce's 18-man London 2012 squad.
Craig Bellamy, Giggs's fellow Welshman, was also chosen along with Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards.
A Team GB tweet read: "Stuart Pearce confirms Ryan Giggs will captain the Team GB football squad."
Giggs, a winner of 12 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions Leagues, will be competing at his first international tournament.
GB launch the tournament against Senegal at Old Trafford on 26 July before meeting United Arab Emirates at Wembley on 29 July and Uruguay at the Millennium Stadium on 1 August.
Giggs, who retired from international football in 2007, revealed in a recent interview that it "would be nice" to represent Team GB as he had never experienced tournament football.
"Obviously, everybody is excited about it, about the Olympics coming to London and coming to different parts of Britain," said Giggs.
"I've spoken to Stuart Pearce but I think the majority of players have.
"It would be nice to be involved in a tournament atmosphere because I've never experienced that."
