Former Brazilian football superstar Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, commonly known as "Ronaldinho Gaucho" will visit Kenya this month.

Nation Sport has established that Ronaldinho — a brand ambassador of betting firm Betika — will arrive in Nairobi on November 9 on a three-day visit courtesy of the betting firm

He will thereafter grace a grass roots football match in Kisumu County, mentor upcoming footballers and also open a Betika shop.

"He was super talented but his warm and flashy smile endeared many fans to adore him even of they didn't support his team at the time. His visit will inspire upcoming footballers and allow them to dream big," explained media personality Carol Radull.

Ronaldinho is considered one of the most talented footballers in the history of the game, and certainly of his generation.
