Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, son of Portuguese football legend and Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo, has made his debut for Portugal's U17 national team.
As reported by İdman.Biz, citing Portuguese newspaper A Bola, the 16-year-old footballer appeared in the qualifying match against Andorra for the 2027 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.
Ronaldo Jr entered the pitch as a substitute in the 73rd minute, making his first appearance for Portugal at this age level.
The Portuguese team secured a comfortable 4-0 victory, while the young forward nearly marked his debut with a goal. In the 88th minute, his header narrowly missed the target.
It is worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo recently announced his retirement from international football after representing Portugal's senior national team for 23 years.
During his remarkable international career, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner became one of the most successful players in football history and set numerous records.
Now, his son is following in his footsteps, taking another important step in his international career with Portugal's youth national teams.
