Former Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho will return to the pitch after 11 years, wearing the shirt of Ravenna, a Serie C club in Italy. According to the club, the player will take the field in the Ravenna jersey in the match against Forli, which will be played on November 15.

Club president Ignazio Cipriani told the Italian news agency ANSA that people around the idea had described it as impossible. Cipriani said that, through the passion and effort of the team, an idea that seemed impossible had become an event everyone is eagerly awaiting.
