## Summary

Ronaldinho came out of retirement at 46 to play for Ravenna in their Italian third-tier derby against Forli, marking his first appearance since 2015. The former Brazil and Barcelona star helped create the opening goal, drawing attention to Ravenna’s high-profile new investor and the club’s attempt to build interest around the fixture.

He played the first half after training with the team once, the previous day, and was substituted at the break. The sold-out match was staged at the Stadio Bruno Benelli, where a temporary stand named the R10 was built and the game streamed internationally. Ronaldinho has scored 299 career goals; it is unclear whether he will play for Ravenna again.
