RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Kaka was honored 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.

    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. It hosted the 1950 World Cup final, when Brazil was upset by Uruguay.

    Another Brazilian expected to be honored on Tuesday was Robinho, for his unique dribble in the team's 5-0 rout of Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier last year.
