Romario, 60, wows with chiselled physique in viral beach footvolley clip | OneFootball

A viral beach clip has shown Romário, 60, in striking shape as he competes at footvolley, prompting awe across social media. Many comments suggest he looks sharper than in his Brazil days, with some even saying he outshines Neymar.

According to Superdeporte, the former Valencia forward teamed up with Anderson Águia, the discipline’s champion, and produced crisp control, tidy first touches and a spectacular footvolley that drew applause.

They won their doubles match, then celebrated on camera with broad smiles, a reminder that his competitive edge remains intact alongside that chiselled frame.

The Brazilian hung up his boots in 2009 after a lengthy career, never known for spartan conditioning yet lethal over short bursts and blessed with supreme penalty-box instinct.

That same year he surprised many by returning to play for América-RJ, the club he also presided over, and he has even reappeared as recently as 2024, albeit outside Brazil’s elite.

His Valencia move in 1996 was a headline grabber driven by president Francisco Roig, but friction with coach Luis Aragonés surfaced immediately.

Disagreements over discipline, dressing-room management and footballing ideas persisted, and Jorge Valdano’s arrival did not fully steady matters.

Injuries, trips back to Brazil and internal rows curtailed his impact, leaving Mestalla with only flashes of a generational finisher.
