The Portuguese Football Federation has decided to make a special gesture in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo, as it is changing the design of the No. 7 on the national team’s jersey, seeking to keep the legacy of its great captain alive.

As announced by the Portuguese federation, starting with the match against Denmark in the 5th round of the Nations League, the No. 7 will now feature a different graphic design. This change is symbolic in nature, as the previous design will remain inextricably linked to Cristiano Ronaldo and the history he made with the national team.

The decision is yet another way of recognizing the immense contribution of the Portuguese superstar, who has come to be identified, like few others, with the national team jersey and the number that accompanied him during the greatest moments of his career.

“There are stories, memories, achievements, and emotions that will forever be linked to Cristiano Ronaldo,” the federation notes, clarifying that the new No. 7 will embody the same spirit and pride, while the previous design will be preserved as a tribute to a legacy that will never be forgotten.

“Thank you, Cristiano!” was the message from the Portuguese federation to its iconic captain.
