Notes:

Home shirt as worn by Ronaldinho during the 2000 Sidney Olympics, where Brazil was eliminated in the quarter-final by Cameroon, and the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the tournament itself, where Brazil went on to win their fifth World Cup title. This period marked the rise of Ronaldinho as one of the brightest stars in world football. He formed a legendary attacking trio with Ronaldo and Rivaldo during the 2002 World Cup, held in South Korea and Japan.

Ronaldinho's most iconic moment in this shirt came in the quarter-final against England, where he scored a stunning free-kick from long range, looping the ball over goalkeeper David Seaman to send Brazil to the semi-finals. Despite being sent off in that match, Ronaldinho's creativity and flair were instrumental in Brazil's successful campaign.

This shirt is a symbol of Ronaldinho’s emergence as a global football icon and Brazil’s historic World Cup triumph, making it one of the most cherished periods in Brazilian football history.
