The Guardian FootballMarketing stunt or ‘extraordinary’ transfer? Ravenna fans ride wave of the Ronaldinho Effect
Brazil legend’s decision to play in Serie C at 46 has divided fans – but the man who arranged the deal has high hopes On a scorching summer afternoon in Ravenna, a city far better known for its fifth-century Byzantine mosaics and Dante’s tomb than for footballing glory, eyes are peeled in the historic centre for one of world football’s most recognisable figures – a man who featured in the World Cup final half-time show alongside Madonna and Ronaldo: Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, better known as Ronaldinho. “We haven’t seen him yet,” four Ravenna supporters sitting at a cafe say with dry irony as they flip through La Gazzetta dello Sport, Italy’s famous pink sports daily.

The Guardian FootballWorld Cup 2030 (very early) power rankings: who will challenge Spain at top?
The next men’s World Cup is still four years away, but we take a look at the teams with the firmest foundations who should be primed to contend The 2026 World Cup provided many an esteemed veteran with what could be their international swansongs, with golden greats Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Neymar, James Rodríguez and Guillermo Ochoa all making teary exits as their tournament ended. As we turn ahead to the 2030 World Cup, any player 32 or older will be sweating their selection status and changing their daily routines to stay sharp against inevitable aging.
