RIO DE JANEIRO: Kaka was immortalised in Maracana’s sidewalk of fame on Tuesday.
The Brazil midfielder left his footprints in a section dedicated to the memory of the country’s top players.
“Maracana has a great history,’’ Kaka said. “As a football player, to be part of this memorial, to be part of Maracana, it is a great pride.’’
The AC Milan player’s name is next to former all-star Zico. Other stars who left their footprints in the sidewalk of fame include Pele, Romario, Zagallo, Dunga and Franz Beckenbauer.
Maracana once was the world’s largest football stadium and accommodated more than 180,000 fans, but reforms have shrunk its capacity to about 70,000
