Rivaldo has been announced as a late call-up for Soccer Aid 2025

Tyson Fury and Wayne Rooney will also be involved
Wearing the blue and black kit of the Rest of the World team, Rivaldo's return is one that adds to the growing importance of the game.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement at the thought of seeing the Ballon d'Or winner back on the field.
Brazilian Rivaldo, whose dazzling footwork and lethal finishing made him one of the greatest players of his generation, has kept a relatively low profile in the football world since his retirement.
But now it seems the urge to play again - especially for a cause like Soccer Aid — has proved too strong to resist.
One fan on X said: "I swear, if a similar announcement of Totti appears on here, last minute, I will lose my head. You've been warned."
Then another one read simply: "This is so cool as a real legend will be playing.
The stage is set for a thrilling evening, as Rivaldo prepares to line up alongside global superstars like Usain Bolt, David Beckham, and Michael Owen.
With all eyes on the legendary striker, Soccer Aid 2025 is set to be one for the history books.
England ended their SIX-YEAR wait for a win at Soccer Aid 2024 at Stamford Bridge which raised £15million.
Let's just hope that Rivaldo's fitness holds up and he can help raise more the charity game.
But the big question is, can he still deliver that signature Brazilian flair?

He's been handed a three-year deal in Glasgow. Doohan told the Celtic website: 'I'm over the moon. Coming through the Academy, spending 11 years there and now to be coming back, it's an amazing feeling. 'It was always the dream to come back. I knew at the starting point of my career that I needed to go away and play games and hopefully the opportunity would come up to come back to the club, which I always wanted to do and thankfully that's happened now. 'I'm buzzing to get going and to meet all the boys and hopefully it'll be another successful season for the club." Celts boss Rodgers said: 'I am really pleased that we are bringing Ross back to Celtic. He knows the club so well and has grown up understanding the demands of the club. 'He has gone away, got some great experience, really focused on developing himself at some good clubs, so much so that he has now achieved his first Scotland cap, a great moment for him and his family. 'Ross is a really talented goalkeeper, hungry to achieve more, but he is a humble guy with a tremendous attitude to the game. I am sure he can be a real asset to our squad'.
