Ronaldinho Starts for Ravenna in Serie C Comeback

Overview

• Ravenna confirmed Ronaldinho in the starting lineup for the Serie C match against Forlì scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026.
• Coach Andrea Mandorlini said the 46-year-old is expected to play roughly 30 minutes as a managed, one-off competitive appearance.
• The club added a temporary 1,800-seat grandstand after tickets sold out and Brazilian broadcasters including RedeTV! and R10 Comeback arranged special coverage.
• The on-field appearance is tied to a broader project led by Ravenna president Ignazio Cipriani in which Ronaldinho becomes an ambassador and incoming shareholder.
• Ronaldinho has a personal objective to score one more official goal to reach 300 career goals and the announced commitment covers at least this single match rather than a full-season return.
