Ronaldinho also has an incredibly passionate fanbase across India. Therefore, there’s good news for the Indian football fanbase that this Brazilian legend is in India now.

Ronaldinho has come to India to headline the Return of the Titans, Kerala Edition 2026 exhibition football match. This event is organised by Gammen Sports, and this event aims to treat Indian football fans to nostalgia by bringing together the legendary World Cup winners and iconic Indian ex-internationals like I.M. Vijayan.

This high-profile exhibition is also designed to build promotional hype and momentum ahead of the upcoming senior friendly match between India and Brazil.
