The widely-travelled woman and her team took photos with the football icon. The photos were posted on Instagram by the church with the caption, “Where Spirituality meets Football.”
Commenting on Ronaldinho, the church said, “Considered one of the best players of his generation and regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time, Ronaldinho won two FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a Ballon d’Or. A global icon of the sport.”
