Dani Alves won his appeal against a sexual assault conviction as a Spanish court overturned the ruling on Friday.
Alves was found guilty in February 2024 of raping a woman in a nightclub in December 2022 and sentenced to four years, six months in prison.
He denied wrongdoing during the three-day trial.
The former Brazil and Barcelona star was released from prison in in March 2024 while waiting for his appeal to be heard by a higher court.
That court ruled on Friday that there was “insufficient evidence” to rule out Alves’ presumption of innocence.
