Ronaldo said on the 17th (Korea time) through Brazilian media Gloucesporte "For decades, soccer has served as a way out for Brazilians."Our people are not interested in the national team at all today. One of the hundreds of reasons for being a candidate for CBF president is to restore the honor and respect that the national team has always brought but does not enjoy now."
Currently, the CBF is led by Ernesto Rodriguez. With his term expiring in March 2026, the CBF presidential election must be held 12 months before the end of his term.
Ronaldo contributed to the victory by playing as Brazil's main catcher at the 1994 U.S. World Cup and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. He has scored 15 goals in 19 World Cup games, ranking second in total. He played 98 A matches and left a great mark in his 17 years in Europe.
Since the Korea-Japan World Cup, Brazil has been on the decline. In the 2014 tournament held in his country, he suffered a crushing 1-7 defeat by Germany in the semifinals. In Copa America, it has not won since 2011.
