Ravenna's football club has made headlines with the signing of Brazilian legend Ronaldinho, who will play in Serie C at the age of 46. While some fans view this as a commercial stunt, others are excited about the potential for increased visibility and engagement for the club and the city. The club's president, Ignazio Cipriani, aims to elevate Ravenna's profile in the football world and beyond.
The signing is part of a broader strategy to promote Ravenna internationally, with plans for stadium renovations and community engagement. The local government sees Ronaldinho's presence as a way to enhance the city's image and attract tourism, although traditional supporters express concerns about commercialization in football.
