Cristiano Ronaldo Jr’s international future is wide open, with the 14-year-old forward eligible to represent five different countries, including Cape Verde, despite Portugal call-up.
He is eligible to play for Portugal, the United States, Spain, England, and Cape Verde.
His recent call-up to Portugal’s U15 squad, however, suggests he may be set to follow in his legendary father’s footsteps.
The Al-Nassr academy talent, son of five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, was named in Portugal’s U15 squad for the upcoming Vlatko Markovic International Tournament in Croatia, set to run from May 13 to 18.
It marks his first official selection at international level and a potentially defining moment in his development.
Despite his eligibility through birth, residency, and heritage, Portugal remains the clear frontrunner in securing Cristiano Jr’s long-term allegiance, especially with his father’s enduring influence on the national team.
The 40-year-old veteran, still performing at elite level for Al-Nassr, reacted to the news by posting, “I’m proud of you, son,” on Instagram.
