Portugal prepare to honour Cristiano Ronaldo against Denmark

The Portuguese national team is set to honour their former captain Cristiano Ronaldo during the upcoming clash against Denmark on Saturday, as part of the fifth round of the UEFA Nations League, which will take place at the Estádio Municipal de Braga.

The Portuguese national team players decided to enter the pitch wearing the number 7 shirt in a tribute to star Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently announced his retirement from international football after a prolific career with his national team.

This initiative comes in recognition of what Ronaldo has contributed to Portuguese football, having become one of the most prominent symbols of the national team throughout its history, leaving an exceptional mark over many years during which he wore his country's shirt.

Ronaldo has ended his international career after playing 234 matches for the Portugal national team, scoring 146 goals. He also contributed to leading his country to win the UEFA European Championship in 2016, along with winning the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025.
