Brazilian legend Ronaldinho to attend USL League One side Greenville Triumph's stadium groundbreaking

Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldinho is set to attend the ceremonial groundbreaking of Greenville Triumph SC's new stadium in Mauldin, S.C.. The event marks a significant milestone for the USL League One club as they begin construction on their 10,000-seat multi-use sports and entertainment venue at BridgeWay Station. The new stadium project, announced on Oct. 30, 2024, represents a major step forward for the club and the city of Mauldin. The $80-100 million facility is part of a development agreement with Hughes Investments at BridgeWay Station.

Greenville Triumph Chairman Joe Erwin expressed his excitement about the project, in October 2024, stating "This stadium will be a place where our entire community comes together to celebrate, to compete, and to create memories that will last a lifetime. In addition to the Triumph and Liberty teams, we will allow young athletes of all shapes, sizes, races, and religions, to come here and play in this great stadium. This is your stadium: The peoples' stadium."

Ronaldinho joined Greenville Triumph SC's ownership group in October 2024 and was brought on board through Wallace Cheves' Grupo Ronaldinho ownership syndicate. The Brazilian legend joined an ownership group comprised of Erwin, his wife Gretchen, Cheves, William M. Webster IV, Rick Pennell, Jim Casey, Doug Erwin, and Shannon Wilbanks.

The Greenville Triumph opened their 2025 USL League One campaign with a 1-1 draw over Westchester SC, a result that has put them second on the league table after the first game. They sit two points behind the league leaders Richmond Kickers and face Union Omaha at home next in the league.
