He was praised by Osvaldo Matos de Melo Junior, the Brazilian Institute of Tourism’s Director of Marketing and Public Relations.
He said,
“You take the case of Ronaldinho, a person who has almost 100million followers in his networks and voluntarily helps us at no cost for patriotism. This attitude is invaluable.”
“Just by issuing a visa to countries like the United States and Canada, we have already had over 200 per cent increase in demand for our country. We will increasingly invest, even in intelligence, to achieve our goals.”
After he won many honours and trophies, the 39-year-old officially announced his retirement from football in 2018.
