Ronaldinho to make football comeback aged 46
More than a decade after his last professional appearance, Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho is set for a comeback. The former world player of the year is to play in Italy’s third tier.
Ronaldinho, the former football star, is set to make a comeback to the game at the age of 46. Italian Serie C club Ravenna announced his participation in the upcoming season. Standing alongside the club's vice president, he expressed his excitement about joining the team and helping his fellow players win. Despite his age, Ronaldinho remains focused on his goal of scoring his 300th professional goal.
His involvement in the club is not seen as a mere publicity stunt by both the Brazilian and Cipriani. While some may view this as a PR move, the club's ticket sales have surged following Ronaldinho's arrival, with over 2,700 season tickets already sold. Even if he doesn't play, his presence is expected to generate significant anticipation in the northeastern city.
