Ronaldinho to play on November 15
Ravenna president Ignazio Cipriani has confirmed that former Brazilian star Ronaldinho will take the field in the Forlì derby on November 15. Ronaldinho has not played a competitive match since 2015.
In Italy's third tier, Serie C, Ravenna has announced that former Milan and Barcelona star Ronaldinho will play in an official match on November 15. Club president Ignazio Cipriani told the Ansa news agency: "The magic never left. Now it is time to put him back on the pitch. The comeback is real."
Cipriani noted that the process was seen as impossible from the start, and pointed to the importance of the derby against Forlì. It was stated that Ronaldinho will appear in a Ravenna shirt at the Stadio Benelli. The club had announced the signing at an event in Miami in June of this year.
The former Brazil international has not yet trained with the team. According to a Corriere della Sera report, Ronaldinho has been watching the team's matches. His brother and manager, Roberto De Assis, was seen at the Ravenna stadium at the end of September.
It is not yet known how many minutes Ronaldinho will play in the match. The 46-year-old last played a competitive match in 2015, while at Fluminense.
