Ravenna confirm Ronaldinho debut date

Italian Serie C outfit Ravenna have officially cleared up uncertainty regarding their high-profile signing, confirming that Brazilian icon Ronaldinho will make his debut for the club on November 15. The match, a local derby against Forli, is set to be held at the Stadio Bruno Benelli.

A return to the pitch

Since the 46-year-old signed with the club in August, many observers questioned whether his involvement was merely a promotional stunt. However, the club has now firmly stated that the former superstar will take to the field in a competitive league fixture.

The Brazilian striker has openly talked about trying to score his 300th career goal for the Serie C side before finally walking away from professional football.

While it remains unlikely that the veteran will manage a full 90 minutes, the announcement has triggered massive interest in the clash. Ravenna currently holds second place in the Serie C Group B standings as they chase promotion, and this upcoming match is expected to be one of the most significant events of their season.
