Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho is set to make his playing return at the age of 46 for Italian third-division club Ravenna, according to an announcement made on Saturday. The former World Cup winner, who played for top clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and AC Milan, retired in 2015 after securing the prestigious Ballon d'Or award. He has since become a shareholder in Ravenna, a team located between Venice and San Marino.
Ravenna FC, currently in second place in Group B of the Italian third tier, is aiming to return to Serie B for the first time since 2008. The club announced Ronaldinho's signing in June, with the Brazilian legend hoping to score his 300th career goal. The statement from Ravenna reads, "The wait now has a date: Sunday, November 15." It is expected that Ronaldinho will wear the Ravenna FC shirt in a derby match against Forli, an event that the club believes will draw global attention to their Bruno Benelli Stadium.
