Ronaldinho dream for Manning, daCosta Cup players

Eight schoolboy footballers will get the opportunity to share the field with Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho when the football icon visits Jamaica for the Magic of Ronaldinho Tour from December 3-7.

Patrons will also have a chance to win more than $300,000 through a sponsored penalty shoot-out. The announcement was made during the tour’s launch on Tuesday at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel.

The former Brazilian star will visit the island to be honoured at a tribute dinner hosted by the Jamaican Government on December 4. He and the Ronaldinho All-Stars will then honour the Reggae Boyz’ historic 1998 World Cup team in a football match at the National Stadium on December 6.
