The club confirmed on Saturday that the playmaker, who also serves as a shareholder for the team based between Venice and San Marino, is scheduled to make his debut on Sunday, November 15. The highly anticipated return will take place during a local derby match against Forli at the Bruno Benelli Stadium, an occasion the club believes will draw significant global attention.
A New Chapter for the Ballon d'Or Winner
Ronaldinho’s involvement with Ravenna was first announced in June, marking a surprising new chapter for the former Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and AC Milan star. Having claimed the Ballon d'Or in 2005, the Brazilian icon is reportedly motivated by the prospect of reaching a significant personal milestone: scoring his 300th career goal.
Ravenna currently sits in second place in Group B of the Italian third division. The club is in the midst of a competitive campaign, trailing league leaders Spezia by six points. With the addition of the 2002 World Cup winner to their ranks, the team is hoping to bolster their push for promotion and secure a return to Serie B for the first time since 2008.
