Zinedine Zidane says he will play in the 2006 World Cup should France qualify.

"Yes, I will play the World Cup (if we qualify)," Zidane told sports daily L'Equipe in an interview.

Zidane, 33, announced on Wednesday he was returning to international duty for a friendly against Ivory Coast later this month before playing the World Cup qualifiers with Les Bleus.

The Real Madrid playmaker had announced his retirement from international football after France's quarter-final exit by eventual winners Greece at Euro 2004.

France lie fourth in the European Group Four standings led by Ireland, whom they will meet on September 7 in Lansdowne Road.
