  • Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. called up to Portugal's Under-15 national team.
  • The 14-year-old plays for Al-Nassr's youth academy in Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the 14-year-old son of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, has officially received his first call-up to the Portugal Under-15 squad. This marks a significant early milestone in what could evolve into a remarkable father-son legacy in football. The younger Ronaldo is currently at Al-Nassr's youth academy in Saudi Arabia, where he continues his development in the sport, according to BBC, Channel News Asia, and Reuters.

Ronaldo Jr. will participate in an upcoming tournament in Croatia, where Portugal is scheduled to compete against Japan, Greece, and England, providing him his first taste of international football. His father, Portugal's captain Ronaldo, expressed pride in the announcement by stating, "Proud of you, son," highlighting a supportive dynamic as his son embarks on this journey, according to BBC, Channel News Asia, and Reuters.

Having already started his football journey at the youth levels of his father's former clubs, including Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United, Ronaldo Jr. has made a name for himself with around 58 goals during his time in Italy. Recent moments, including clips of him replicating his father's famous 'Siu' goal celebration, have gone viral, showcasing his early promise and potential in the sport. This early involvement with the Portuguese national team could signify his commitment to the country, although he holds eligibility for three nations due to his diverse background, according to BBC, Channel News Asia, and Reuters.
