At the age of 46, Brazilian legend Ronaldinho has made an unexpected announcement regarding his return to football. His last professional match was in September 2015, but now he has signed a contract with Ravenna, a team in Serie C. The 2002 FIFA World Cup champion will be officially presented as the newest member of the club during a special event in Miami on June 23. Ravenna, located in the Emilia-Romagna region, has typically remained unnoticed with its stadium accommodating a little over 12,000 fans. However, the arrival of Ronaldinho has thrust the club into the international limelight.
