Brazil's World Cup organizers are adding some star power to their team. Recently retired Brazilian striker Ronaldo was appointed a member of the World Cup 2014 organising committee in Sao Paulo on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old hung up his boots earlier in the week. He made the announcement at the city's football museum and received a special award from Sao Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin. The highest goalscorer in the competition's history is enthusiastic about his new role.

Ronaldo, Member of WC 2014 Organizing Committee, said, "It was an honour to be able to help the governor of Sao Paulo, and to make Sao Paulo a better place for the best World Cup of all time."
