"This announcement is to send a message to the presidents of federations and clubs. I am a candidate for the presidency of the CBF. I have incredible plans and before you commit to voting, I want to have a personal conversation with each of you. I will travel all over Brazil for that," Ronaldo said in a statement published in Globo Esporte about his candidacy for the new term of CBF President.

"I have many motivations, but the biggest motivation is for Brazilian football to be respected by the whole world again. I met many fans on the street, they asked me and asked me, what should I do to make Brazilian football respected again. The situation of the Brazilian team is not the best, both on and off the field," Ronaldo emphasized.
To carry out his plan to run for the CBF presidency, Ronaldo must convince federations and clubs in Brazil to support him. He will do this from March 2025 to March 2026, before entering the election.
According to Marca (Spain): "Ronaldo is in Brazil, after declaring his candidacy, he will travel everywhere to campaign and find ways to change football in his country. Brazilian football has been in decline for many years. The Brazilian team has not played successfully since winning the 5th championship in Korea and Japan in 2002. They went through the next 5 World Cups, including 2014 at home, with the best result being fourth place, the rest only reaching the quarterfinals".
To fully devote himself to the job of CBF President if elected, Ronaldo will also sell Valladolid Club in La Liga, the team he owns with 82% of shares and is currently holding the position of president.
"We are negotiating the possibility of selling Valladolid very soon and we have to end this activity. It will not hinder my candidacy," Ronaldo said.
The current CBF president is Ednaldo Rodrigues, but has recently fallen out of favor with Brazilian fans, due to the team's poor showing at recent World Cups and in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Brazilian fans are looking for change, they hope Ronaldo will be the new president and bring to the team the famous coach Pep Guardiola as promised.
