Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, has received his first call-up to Portugal’s under-16 national team, marking a significant step in his budding football career.
The 15-year-old forward, who currently plays for Al Nassr’s youth team in Saudi Arabia—where his father also stars—has been named in a 22-player squad set to compete in the Federations Cup Tournament in Turkey later this month.
The young Ronaldo will represent Portugal in matches against Turkey, Wales, and England between October 30 and November 4. His inclusion in the national setup highlights his steady development and growing reputation within youth football circles.
This latest call-up follows his earlier selection for Portugal’s under-15 team in May, underscoring his consistent progress through the national youth ranks. The prospect of Cristiano Jr one day sharing the pitch with his legendary father continues to captivate fans around the world.
Before joining Al Nassr’s academy, Ronaldo Jr honed his skills in the youth systems of two European giants—Juventus and Manchester United—both clubs where his father made history.
Cristiano Ronaldo Sr, who debuted for Portugal’s senior team in 2001, holds world records with 223 international appearances and 143 goals. His son’s rise now offers a glimpse into the continuation of one of football’s most iconic legacies.
With his first international youth tournament on the horizon, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr will aim to make his mark and continue the family tradition of excellence on the global stage.
