Ronaldinho is returning to competitive action!
The legend of Brazilian and world soccer is ready to lace up his cleats again, 11 years after announcing his retirement from active play, as he is expected to play for Ravenna in their derby against Forlì in Italy’s third division!
Last summer, Ronaldinho decided to invest in Ravenna, of which he is a shareholder, ambassador, and soon… a player—even if just for one match. Under Ronaldinho’s agreement with Ignazio Cipriani, the club’s majority shareholder, the Brazilian is set to play in at least one game, and that will be the derby against Forlì this coming Sunday (11/15).
Ravenna is in second place in Group B of Serie C, and in the local derby against Forlì, the team will have Ronaldinho at its disposal, who will return to action 11 years after his last appearance, with Fluminense.
