Brazil.- April 18, 2024 www.zonadeazar.com [1] At 58 years old, former player Romário can return to the field of a professional football club for the first time since 2009, when he retired from the field.
This is because he was registered by América do Rio de Janeiro in the Athlete Registration Bulletin (Bira), on Tuesday the 16th, which allows him to play matches in the A2 Series of the Carioca Championship.
The 1994 World Cup star stated in a post on a social network profile that he made the decision to fulfill a personal dream, to play alongside his son Romarinho, who also plays for the team.
“Guys, you must be following the possibility of my return to the field. Making it clear that it is not to compete in the championship, but to play some games with my favorite team, Mecão. I will also fulfill another dream: playing with my son,” he wrote.
If he does indeed take action for América, Romário will accumulate the role of player and president, since he assumed command of the team on January 6 of this year. In addition, the star of the 1994 World Cup is a senator of the Republic.
The A2 Series of the Carioca Championship will be played starting May 18 and will have the participation of 12 teams. The champion guarantees classification to the first division of the 2025 edition of the Carioca Championship.
