According to Sports Outlet , Ronaldo Jr. – the eldest son of soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo – is eligible to play for five different national teams.
As the son of one of the greatest players in football history, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Jr. has also attracted a lot of attention. Like his father, the boy also has a passion for football. According to Sports Outlet , Ronaldo Jr. is eligible to play for five different national teams.
It is still unclear which national team Ronaldo will choose to play for. Ronaldo Jr. is eligible to play for Portugal, obviously, because that is his father’s homeland. But because he was born in the United States, he can also play for the US national team.
Ronaldo Jr. spent three years in Spain while Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, making him eligible to represent La Roja. He could also represent England, having spent more than five years there while his father was at Manchester United.
Notably, few people know that Ronaldo Jr. can also play for the Cape Verde team, where his grandmother is from. It may sound strange, but in fact Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, has ancestors from this West African archipelago.
Despite having many options, Ronaldo Jr. is likely to follow in his father’s footsteps and play for Portugal. The boy is currently training at Al Nassr’s academy and has shown no signs of “changing direction” to West Africa.
No matter which team he chooses, Ronaldo Jr will definitely attract attention, simply because he is Cristiano Ronaldo’s son!
