Ronaldinho, the 46-year-old former Brazilian Ballon d’Or winner, will play again on 15 November for Ravenna against Forlì in Italy’s third division. The former Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona and AC Milan player is targeting the 300th goal of his career, Ravenna’s club announced.

Ronaldinho, former Brazilian Ballon d’Or winner and 2002 World Cup champion, will play football again on 15 November with Ravenna, an Italian third-division club. The 46-year-old former midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona and AC Milan will play a derby against Forli at the Bruno Benelli stadium, Ravenna said on Saturday in a statement reported by Punch.

The Brazilian, who retired in 2015, is aiming for the 300th goal of his career. He has also become a shareholder in Ravenna, whose acquisition was announced in June, Punch said.
