Ronaldino 46 yoshida «Ravenna» for the field

Famous Brazilian footballer Ronaldino is preparing to return to professional football at the age of 46. One.uz reports this.

The "Ravenna" club, which competes in Italy's third division, announced that he will take to the field in a match against "Forli" on November 15, 2026. The match will take place at the "Bruno Benelli" stadium.

Reuters reported this. Ronaldino played his last official match in the Brazilian club "Fluminense" in 2015 and announced his retirement from football in 2018.

He has not participated in professional-level official matches for over 11 years. The footballer signed a contract with "Ravenna" in June 2026.

Later, he also purchased a portion of the club's shares. Initially, it was said that his involvement with the team might mainly be related to promoting the club.

Now, however, Ronaldino's participation in an official match has been confirmed. Ronaldino won the World Cup with the Brazilian national team in 2002.

He also won the "Ballon d'Or" in 2005 and played for clubs such as "Barcelona," "Milan," and "Paris Saint-Germain" during his career. One of the goals for the footballer's return is to score 300 goals in his career.

In August, at a presentation ceremony in Italy, Ronaldino did not rule out this possibility and said he came to help the team. Source: Reuters.
