However, Bolt's dream of playing top-level football might actually come true. A Jamaican newspaper reported that national team coach Wilfried Schaefer wants Bolt to be part of his squad for the qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup.



Schaefer told The Gleaner: "I want him (Bolt) on the national team... may be after the Olympics in Brazil (in 2016), I want to see him in our team."


Bolt is obviously up for the challenge and immediately posted a picture of the story on his social media account with a message that read "anything's possible."
