The Vision

Some stories take decades to write. Growing up in Ravenna, Ignazio Cipriani spent over twenty years in the United States, transforming his name into a global symbol of Italian hospitality. Yet, one dream never left him: to bring his hometown into the international spotlight. On June 23rd, in Miami, that dream became a reality.

«After 24 years in the United States, Ravenna remains the place I call home. The bond with my city and my passion for football made all of this a natural choice.» — Ignazio Cipriani, President, Ravenna FC by Cipriani

The Reborn Club

In 2024, Ignazio Cipriani, together with investment partner Black Duck, acquired Ravenna Football Club. The new management was entrusted to Ariedo Braida, a legendary figure in Italian football and the architect of AC Milan's greatest successes. To seal this ambitious international project, a prestigious four-year technical partnership with Nike was signed.

“He was my childhood idol, and his impact on the game goes far beyond football.” — Ignazio Cipriani

The Number 10 Jersey

The official jersey is a tribute to Ravenna's historical heritage, combined with a contemporary design created for a global audience. It's the kit Ronaldinho will wear on the pitch for Ravenna FC by Cipriani: the jersey in which he dreams of scoring the last goal of his extraordinary professional career.

"I hope his presence inspires a new generation of fans to fall in love with Ravenna FC and be part of what we are building for the future." — Ignazio Cipriani
