Brazil's football great Ronaldinho has shown his musical talents by unveiling a music video that pays tribute to the world's Paralympic athletes.

Clips of the song entitled "I'm from the world, a winner" have already been seen more than a million times, barely a day after being posted on Instagram on Tuesday, reports Xinhua.

Ronaldinho, who is an official ambassador for the September 7-18 Paralympic Games here performed the song alongside Brazilian musicians Jhama and Pablo Luiz.

The president of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee Andrew Parsons hailed the initiative for helping to "engage fans" and support Brazil's bid to finish in the top five in the Rio Paralympic medal standings.

"When Ronaldinho spoke to us and showed us the song, we immediately saw that it represented the spirit of Paralympic athletes," Parsons said on Tuesday.
