Brazil and Barcelona legend Ronaldinho is set to be involved in an Australian Bushfire Relief match.

The winger, who is currently facing legal troubles related to a false passport he used in Paraguay, is set to play in the match in May.

The news of Ronaldinho's inclusion comes from the Sydney Morning Herald.

The paper suggests that as soon as his legal troubles are cleared, he will be announced as the key figure attending the game.

It is taking place on May 23rd, but there are some concerns about whether it would go through given the recent coronavirus outbreak.

Ronaldinho is a household name who would surely help to sell tickets, regardless of who else is involved in the game.

"Having spoken to his representatives, it seems that he and his brother were duped into this passport scenario," Lou Sticca, the promoter of the event, said.

"If he sorts out this situation and meets the entry requirements to get into Australia, we will welcome him to the Football for Fires match with open arms.

"He is an icon in world football and it would be sad if the football family was deprived from watching him play due to this passport situation."
