Brazil legend, Ronaldo has announced he will run for the presidency of the country’s football association and wants to “recover the prestige” of the national team.
The 48-year-old, who was capped 98 times, will run as a candidate to replace current Confederation of Brazilian Football president Ednaldo Rodrigues.
Brazil, record five-time winners of the World Cup, last won the competition in 2002 and have not progressed further than the quarter-final stage since.
Rodrigues’ term runs until March 2026 and the presidential elections must take place in the 12 months before then.
