Just When You Thought You'd Seen The Last Of Ronaldinho

He may have hung up his boots in the football world, but Ronaldinho is still going strong and is getting his fingers in a few pies.

The Brazilian legend is doing ambassadorial work for former side Barcelona but is also involved in another project.

Ronaldinho is endorsing 'Teqball' - a table-tennis type game played on a curved table with a football. It's bringing a new meaning to football tennis.

The former PSG and AC Milan man was in Hungary a few days back to promote the sport, which commands a whole lot of concentration and technical skills.

Ronny has dabbled into a bit of himself and as you would expect, he's not too bad at it.

It would be no surprise for the sport to catch on with Ronaldinho now involved and the 36-year old believes that the sport could actually grow to become an Olympic event, which he is in favour of.

Speaking to Daily News Hungary, he said:

"I wish to God that this soon becomes an Olympic sport, because then I might have the chance to become an Olympic champion."

With Ronaldinho now onboard, don't rule out seeing teqball at the 2024 Olympic games.
