## Key points

- Ronaldinho is set to start for Ravenna aged 46.
- It will be his first competitive appearance since 2015.
- He hopes to score his 300th career goal.

## Summary

Ronaldinho is set to start for Ravenna against local rivals Forli on Sunday, marking his first competitive appearance since 2015. The return matters because the 46-year-old Brazilian great, a former Ballon d’Or winner and World Cup champion, hopes to score one final goal.

Ravenna manager Andrea Mandorlini confirmed Ronaldinho will play in the team’s front three, though they will decide together how long he stays on the pitch. He joined the Serie C club as an investor in August and has said he wants to reach 300 career goals. After arriving in Italy on Friday, he will have just one training session before the match; Ravenna are second after 13 games and have added temporary seating for the expected crowd.
