Ronaldinho arrived in India on 22nd September 2026 and is currently in Kochi, Kerala. He is in India for the Brazil Legends Team for an exhibition match against the India All Star XI. This match is set to take place tonight at 7:30 PM at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, Kochi.

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. The entire event carries an anti-drug awareness message tied to “Operation Toofan Camp”, which is promoting the slogan “Say not to drugs, yes to football.”
