Okocha, Boateng set for Eintracht Frankfurt return in Ronaldinho’s farewell tour

Nigeria legend Jay-Jay Okocha and Sassuolo midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng are set to return to German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt for the first round of Ronaldinho’s farewell tour on November 17.

The former Barcelona and AC Milan star announced his retirement from football in January and he has arranged a tour of charity games across the globe to help less-privileged children as part of the event to celebrate an illustrious career.

The testimonial match will be between Ronaldinho & Friends and Adler All-Stars - a Frankfurt team that will include Okocha, Boateng, Marco Russ, Oka Nikolov among others at the Commerzbank-Arena - the stadium where he won his last major international title when Brazil lifted the 2005 Fifa Confederations Cup.
