Ronaldinho, Ravenna and Ariedo Braida
20 June 2026
Ronaldinho has signed a surprise contract with Italian third-tier club Ravenna, more than a decade after his last professional appearance. The 46-year-old is expected to be unveiled in Miami, with officials refusing to rule out a playing appearance.
Ravenna vice-president Ariedo Braida first said Ronaldinho would only support marketing activity, then left the door open to playing. Ronaldinho said he wants to bring joy and his familiar football spirit to the club’s supporters.
