Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho has founded the World Street Football League to give talented young lads a chance to showcase their skills with the ball and follow the same path as the former Barcelona star, the Associated Press reports.
"Ronaldinho's World Street League" will start at the end of 2023, project organisers said. Initially, the league in question will offer a social media stage where street footballers of all ages can upload their best skills and techniques in an attempt to join one of the competition's teams.
Once talent is selected from such videos, teams will be organised. Matches between the teams in question and individual skill competitions will be organised in major cities around the world. The teams will compete in a league for the title of "RGSL Champions". Finally, the best players in general from across the league will be selected into a single representative team, to be called the Ronaldinho Globe Street Team.
