Brazil’s Legend Romario 58, Plans Surprise Comeback by ManirBK: 2:06pm On Apr 18 |
Brazil legend Romario, 58, has registered himself as a player for
America Football Club in Rio de Janeiro, where he also serves as
club president.
After his registration was approved on Tuesday, the 1994 World Cup
winner is available to play for the club in the second division of the
Carioca Championship – the state league of Rio de Janeiro – which
begins on May 18.
Rio de Janeiro’s football federation confirmed Romario’s
registration as a player, adding that he will receive a minimum
wage, which will be donated to the club.
Romario was unclear over when he intends to play for the club.
He said he will not feature in any league games, but insisted he
wants to play alongside his son, recent America FC signing
Romarinho, who is a striker.
He addressed the clubs fans in a post on Instagram, saying: “I’m
not going to compete in the championship, but rather play a few
games for the team of my heart and make another dream come
true, playing alongside my son. What do you think?”
Romario played his last official game in November 2009 when he
featured for America FC, the beloved club of his father, Edevair.
He has served as president of America FC since 2009. Five years
later, he was elected senator for Rio de Janeiro.
A Vasco da Gama youth product, Romario starred for PSV
Eindhoven and Barcelona among other clubs.. https://leadership.ng/brazils-legend-romario-plans-surprise-comeback/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod honeric01 semid4lyfe mukina2 |

Romario 58... Tyson 58... What's wrong with all these 58 year olds and making a comeback recently? Anyway if he passes a fitness test he should go ahead. It's all about the passion and the love for the game! |

brain54:Passion ke? I'm very sure they are broke or near bankruptcy. Let them come back and embarrass themselves and their legacies |

thesicilian:Romario is the club president... Also he is going to be donating his pay (minimum wage) to the club. So I don't think he is doing it for the money. His son also plays for the club so he wants an opportunity to play along side his son. And probably promote the club in the process. Also Tyson is nowhere around what he made financially from boxing. But he is definitely not broke. These guys have crested their names and legacy in the anals of history and time... No matter how it pans out their legacy will remain intact! |
