Cristiano Ronaldo’s son has officially been called up to represent Portugal’s U15 team, marking a huge milestone in his young football career. The 14-year-old has been making waves in Al-Nassr’s youth setup, where he trains alongside his father in Saudi Arabia. His consistent performances and eye for goal have now earned him a maiden international call-up to Portugal’s U15 squad for the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament in Croatia, taking place from May 13 to 18. Cristiano Junior's first step on the International stage Ronaldo Jr was named in a 22-man squad by coach João Santos and will face Japan, Greece, and England at the tournament. Despite being eligible to represent multiple nations — including the United States, Spain, England, and Cape Verde — the youngster has chosen to follow in his father’s footsteps by donning the Portugal shirt. He’s the only player in the squad based outside Europe, joining names from top clubs like Tottenham, Porto, Braga, and Vitória Guimarães. Ronaldo's lauds son's International call up His selection didn’t go unnoticed by his father, who shared his pride in a heartfelt Instagram Story featuring the Portugal squad list and the caption: “Proud of you, son!” Could Ronaldo and son play together? The thought of Cristiano Jr lining up alongside his five-time Ballon d’Or-winning father has captured the imagination of fans. While Ronaldo Sr, now 40, would have to extend his career for a few more years, he hasn’t ruled out the possibility. “I would like it, I would like it,” he once said. “It’s not something that keeps me up at night, but I would like it. We’ll see. It’s more in his hands than in mine.” The young forward has already shown flashes of brilliance. In 2023, he was reportedly training two age groups above his level at the Mahd Academy and later captained Al-Nassr’s U13 side to the Saudi U13 Premier League title. He has also previously featured in youth setups at Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United. Now stepping onto the international scene, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr’s journey to possibly creating football history with his father has officially begun. Source: YEN.com.gh
