Ravenna, July 31, 2026 – The Dinho effect in Ravenna and its surroundings shows no signs of stopping. The surroundings are very wide: many have decided they will purchase the season ticket to attend the yellow-red season if only to see 10’ of magic from the Gaucho, also known as Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, or Ronaldinho. At the moment, only holders of last season’s subscription can exercise the right of first refusal, while free sales will begin only on August 17: but many have called to ask for information. Meanwhile, in just a few days, over 1,000 people have exercised the right of first refusal, that is more than half of last year’s subscribers: an unprecedented success for the yellow-red club.

After all, seeing Ronaldinho enter the field in the World Cup final warmed the spirits of Romagna fans: a bit of Byzantine pride in seeing a part of Ravenna’s football parade before the most important match of the four-year World Cup cycle.
Whether he plays or encourages those who are, in form and substance, his teammates, Ronaldinho is such a phenomenon that the operation desired by president Ignazio Cipriani has already proven to be a great success. Like the great success of the creation of the original white R10 jersey, with the logo of the technical sponsor – which is obviously Ronaldinho’s personal one – with the 10 and the R embroidered on the chest, on the left.
Over 3,000 Dinho shirts ordered on the Ravenna website
An unprecedented success: in the first 48 hours, as many as 2,000 units were sold, much more than expected. Then the flow stabilized, but never stopped: now over 3,000 shirts have been ordered on the Ravenna website. Just think that today, anyone wanting to invest the 129 euros for the cost of the shirt – which is delivered in a very elegant box – would have to wait until October 20, the estimated date from which orders placed these days can be fulfilled.
And in these days Milan has been plastered with giant images of Dinho wearing the shirt in question: from Piazza San Babila, where the first appeared, to Brera, to the Sforza Castle. Next to the large photo is also the QR code to enter directly the page for online ordering. The usual stroke of genius from president Cipriani.
Of course, there is also great anticipation for the official presentation of the team and the related events, but for now the secrecy is still tight, with the last details missing. However, the city is eager to understand exactly what will happen, fans always expect to be amazed by the volcanic president: Cipriani, in fact, has never hidden the ambition to take Ravenna as high as possible, where it has never reached in its over a century history, that is to compete, not only in the Coppa Italia, with the great Serie A clubs.
