That picture with a whisper of mystery graced social media on Thursday (12) - four football legends, idols of Atlético and Cruzeiro, posed together. The caption hinted at a simple "catch-up", but the clues pointed to more than that. In reality, they were tucking into a meal at a restaurant in the United States, where the FIFA Club World Cup is set to unfurl.
The gathering was no coincidence. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Vini Jr find themselves in the country for the same reason - they're partners of FIFA, slated to attend the competition as guests. Vini, on the other hand, is one of the stars of Real Madrid, one of the 32 teams competing in the intercontinental competition.
Matheus Cunha, with no World Cup obligations, isn't far behind in the limelight. Fresh off inking a deal with English megagiant Manchester United, who forked over an impressive £62.5 million (approximately R$ 470 million at the current exchange rate) to acquire Cunha from Wolverhampton, he's now on everyone's mind.
Jersey Unveiling
Ronaldinho and Ronaldo lit up social media for another intriguing reason on Thursday. They were asked to participate by Nike in the unveiling of the new jerseys for teams Nike-sponsored and set to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup. Ronaldinho shone in the jersey of PSG, while Ronaldo represented Inter, Italia's team.

Note: Additional search results suggest that Ronaldinho is involved in several charity and exhibition football matches[2][4]. Ronaldo was not mentioned in recent search findings regarding meetings with the other individuals[1]. Vini Jr was spotted in a recent video Congratulating Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on his MVP award[5]. Matheus Cunha could not be found in the provided search results[3].
In the context of the gathering at a United States restaurant, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Vini Jr - renowned football legends associated with Atlético and Cruzeiro - were attending the FIFA Club World Cup as guests, possibly due to their partnership with FIFA. Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha, the recent signing by English megagiant Manchester United, was not present as he had no World Cup obligations. Interestingly, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were also seen in a Nike event, participating in the unveiling of new jerseys for teams competing in the FIFA Club World Cup, with Ronaldinho representing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Ronaldo representing Inter, Italia's team.
