Recently retired striker Ronaldo will help promote the city of Sao Paulo ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Two days after announcing his retirement from football, Ronaldo said he has accepted an offer from Sao Paulo state Gov. Geraldo Alckmin to become a special member of the city's World Cup organizing committee.
He said ''it will be an honor'' to help Sao Paulo create the best venues among the 12 host cities for the 2014 tournament.
Wednesday's announcement came on the same day the former striker was honored by the governor with a Medal of Merits for Sports.
The 34-year-old Ronaldo ended an 18-year career on Monday saying he couldn't stay fit anymore. He said he will remain active with the sports marketing agency he owns.
