The former Brazilian soccer superstar resumes his visit to Quebec which was initially scheduled to take place in November. Groupe Performance, the organizer of the events surrounding his visit, is able to confirm that Ronaldino will be in town this weekend.
The former FC Barcelona player will participate in the evening at Sainte-Foy Toyota in a discussion with panelists on success and the links to be made between sport and business. There will also be an announcement about its R10 futsal academy which is to be launched in the region.
The mayor of Quebec, Bruno Marchand, will be present. In July, he sent a letter to Ronaldinho proposing to implement the R10 program as a pilot project in schools and inviting him to Quebec.
Another more general public event will take place in the morning, Sunday, at the Alphonse-Desjardins stadium of the PEPS of Laval University. On the menu, a friendly game between the Rouge et Or soccer players, a demonstration of tricks and group photos taken.
The organizer expects to receive more than 2,500 young people for this second day. Groupe Performance hopes that its events will help popularize the sport.
There are a few places left for Saturday evening, but all the places for Sunday’s event have already been taken.
