Brazilian soccer icon Ronaldinho is stepping into the music world with the release of Camisa 10, a sprawling debut album that brings together 44 artists from 18 countries in one of the most ambitious Latin music collaborations of the year.
Released through his own record label Tu Música, Ronaldinho's newly launched global music brand and record label, the project arrives just days before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a fitting backdrop for an album named after the legendary No. 10 jersey that defined the former Brazilian star's career.
The two-volume collection spans dancehall, reggaeton, Latin pop, Afrobeats, regional Mexican music and urban sounds, reflecting the international appeal that made Ronaldinho one of soccer's most recognizable figures. The album's lead single, "Lead," features Jamaican superstar Sean Paul alongside Canadian production duo Banx & Ranx.
The project also includes appearances by a diverse lineup of artists from across Latin America and beyond, including Pitbull, Justin Quiles, Luis R. Conriquez, Lenny Tavarez, Lenin Ramírez, Micro TDH, Yng Lvcas and Nanpa Básico. Additional contributors include Jonas Blue, Dalex, Jon Z and Fariana, among dozens of performers representing countries across the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.
According to the label, Camisa 10 was conceived by music executives Allan Jesus and Roni Maltz Bin, alongside Roberto de Assis, Ronaldinho's longtime manager and brother. The album serves as the flagship release for Tu Música, a Miami-based company launched earlier this year with the goal of connecting artists, cultures and markets through large-scale music creation and distribution.
The title pays tribute to one of soccer's most iconic symbols. Throughout his career with Brazil, FC Barcelona and other clubs, Ronaldinho wore the No. 10 shirt, a number traditionally associated with a team's most creative player. For many fans, the jersey became synonymous with his flair, creativity and joyful style of play.
"Ronaldinho is a legend, and I feel truly grateful, excited and honored to be part of this project alongside him at such a special time for world football, the biggest show on Earth," Sean Paul said in a statement released with the album.
The timing of the project is no coincidence. With the United States, Mexico and Canada preparing to host the FIFA World Cup, global attention is once again turning toward soccer and the cultural industries that surround it. By combining artists from multiple continents and genres, Camisa 10 seeks to mirror the international spirit of the tournament while introducing Ronaldinho's latest venture beyond the field.
While athletes launching music projects is nothing new, few arrive with the scale of Camisa 10. The album's roster spans nearly every major market in Latin music and reaches well beyond it, positioning the project as both a musical release and a global branding effort tied to one of football's most enduring stars.
Camisa 10 is now available on major digital streaming platforms worldwide.
