Okocha is proud to remind Ronaldinho and the football world of his skills in the USA.
Ronaldinho’s celebrity-studded charity game in Florida came to a wild conclusion as crowd members invaded the pitch in large numbers after the game was called early due to weather.
To organize “The Beautiful Game” at the Exploria Stadium, the 43-year-old Brazil superstar welcomed a variety of footballing faces and celebrity all-stars.
At the MLS team Orlando City’s stadium, the game featured Team Ronaldinho (R10) battling Team Roberto Carlos (RC3).
