When Brazil announced their team for the World Cup it was a surprise to many that Ronaldinho, a former World and European Footballer of the Year, was not selected.Instituto Ronaldinho
Founded in December 2006, the Institute is an experiment in social integration that Ronaldinho says is now the biggest goal in his life.
Using sport as a basis for encouraging social integration, the Institute offers medical, nutritional, health care and a range of cultural projects to improve education and personal development.
The Institute is a "Magical Place" with a 4,000 capacity sports arena, swimming pools, football pitches and classrooms, computer rooms, library, dentist and more.
During the World Cup the Institute has been operating daily activities for over 700 young people.
