Ronaldinho, 46, is set to make his first competitive appearance in more than a decade, joining Italian third-division side Ravenna for a match against local rivals Forlì. Multiple outlets say he will start the game after training with the club, with coverage focused on his long-awaited comeback to regular competition.

Several reports place the return in context: Ravenna’s involvement, his age, and the length of time since his last competitive start (often cited as since 2015). Some outlets add that the derby is the start of his “comeback” narrative, while others emphasize the build-up from fans and the club environment. Video and training-focused pieces highlight a technical moment from his first training session with Ravenna.

Across outlets, the agreed core details are Ronaldinho’s return at Ravenna in Italy’s Serie C and the opponent, Forlì. Angles vary in how they frame the story—either as a newsworthy event and matchday moment, or as a spotlight on training and technique—though the underlying facts remain consistent.
