Ronaldinho set for 1st competitive start since 2015 with Ravenna
What's new: The 46-year-old is due to start against Forli on Sunday and could take penalties in front of an expanded crowd.
Ronaldinho is set to make his first competitive start in more than a decade when Ravenna host local rival Forli in Italy's Serie C on Sunday. The 46-year-old former Barcelona, AC Milan and Brazil star joined the club in August after initially coming in as an investor, and his last competitive appearance was for Fluminense in September 2015. Ravenna manager Andrea Mandorlini said Ronaldinho would start as one of the team's three forwards. A temporary stand has been added at Stadio Bruno Benelli to handle expected demand, and teammate Simone Rabbi said Ronaldinho would take any penalties awarded to Ravenna, who sit second in the table after 13 matches.
