Brazilian World Cup-winning star and Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldinho has now joined Ravenna FC as one of the partners of the Italian third-tier football competition 'Serie C' club.

Ever since the news of Ronaldinho joining Ravenna FC was released, the most discussed topic has been his possible return to the field. Whether he will be seen playing professional football again after almost a decade is now the focus of interest of football fans.
Possibility of returning to the field after 11 years
Ronaldinho last played a professional competitive match for Brazilian club Fluminense in 2015. Almost 11 years have passed since then. This time, his new involvement with Ravenna FC has created the possibility of him stepping on the field again.
In June, in addition to being involved in the ownership and management of Ravenna FC, Ronaldinho's name was officially registered as a player. As a result, his path to playing competitive matches for the club is also open.
Will Ronaldinho play for Ravenna?
However, it is not yet certain whether he will play for Ravenna FC or not. In his response, Ronaldinho said that he would love to play for the club. However, the final decision will be made by the club president and head coach.
According to Ronaldinho, he has mainly come to Ravenna to support the club in various ways. He wants to work with the aim of ensuring that the team can perform well.
Brazilian legend in a new role in football
After retiring from field football, Ronaldinho has been involved in various business and football-related activities. This time, he is seen in a new role in football by becoming a partner and managing the Italian club.
However, if he does indeed take the field for Ravenna, it will be a special event for football fans, as it is possible that one of the world's most popular stars will once again be seen in professional competitive football after almost 11 years.
