Brazil Football Legend Romario Returns From Retirement At 58

Brazilian football legend Romario at 58 and 15 years after hanging up his boots has decided coming out of retirement to rejoin America as a player.

The 1994 World Cup winner announced Wednesday he has officially registered to play again for struggling America, who are currently playing in the second division of the Rio state championship and fighting to return to the top-flight.

"I'm ready to try to give my beloved America a little help," Romario wrote on Instagram.

"Thank you everyone for your support!"
It will be a family affair: Romario's son Romarinho, 30, also plays as a forward for the club.

"It will be dream come true to share the pitch with my son," Romario wrote.

In an earlier post Tuesday, Romario said he did not plan to play the entire state championship.

"I just want to play some matches with my beloved team and realise the dream of playing alongside my son," he wrote.
