Eight years retired, 46 on his ID, and a Ballon d’Or sitting in the trophy case. And yet, Ronaldinho is coming back. 🤯
Brazilian Ronaldo de Assis Moreira will sign a contract with Ravenna FC, a club in Italy’s Serie C —third division—. The news was confirmed by La Gazzetta dello Sport and the ANSA agency, and the official announcement will be made on June 23, 2026 at an event in Miami, where Ronaldinho is closely following the World Cup. According to club president Ignazio Cipriani —who has a personal friendship with the Brazilian star—, Dinho will join preseason training and will be available to the coaching staff from the start of the season. ⚽🔥
Now then, there is one question that no one can answer yet: will he really play? Vice president Ariedo Braida was very cautious about it, and sources close to the signing frame it more as an image operation than as a pure sporting comeback. Ronaldinho could even become a partner in the club. What is real is that the 2002 world champion will have a professional jersey at 46 years old. Few would believe it possible. 🏆
