Cristiano Ronaldo’s 15-year-old eldest son was selected for the Portugal U16 team, football’s version of a tiger father with no sons

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 15-year-old son Ronaldo Jr. was officially selected for the Portuguese U16 national team.

The Portuguese U16 national team recently announced a 22-man roster. Cristiano Ronaldo (the eldest son of Cristiano Ronaldo) was selected for the first time and will represent the Portuguese U16 team in Turkey to participate in the Confederations Cup to be held from the 30th of this month to the 4th of next month. There are four teams participating in this event. In addition to the Portugal U16 team, it also includes the host Türkiye U16 team, England U16 team and Wales U16 team.

Ronaldo Jr., like his father, is currently playing for the Riyadh Victory Team in Saudi Arabia. He played for Juventus and Manchester United in the youth ranks with his father. In May this year, Ronaldo was also selected for the Portugal U15 national team, wearing the No. 7 jersey that his father once wore. Data shows that his position on the court is the same as his father's when he debuted - left winger. He really got his father's genes.

Although he currently chooses to represent the Portuguese U16 team, Cristiano Ronaldo is also qualified to represent other countries in the future, including the United States, where he was born, and the places where he lived and grew up, the Spanish team and the English team with resident qualifications, and even the small African country Cape Verde to which his grandmother's blood belongs (the country has just qualified for the World Cup for the first time). Of course, it is generally believed that he will follow in his father's footsteps and wait to one day become the main player of the Portuguese national team.
