CR7’s son called up to Portugal U15s to face England leaving dad ‘proud’

THE son of Cristiano Ronaldo has been called up to Portugal Under-15s ahead of an upcoming match against England.

Ronaldo posted confirmation of the international call-up on his Instagram.

He used a fire emoji against his son’s name which was first on the list of squad members.

The 40-year-old also wrote: "Proud of you, son."

Ronaldo Jr currently plays in Al-Nassr's academy having followed his dad to Saudi Arabia over two years ago.

The 14-year-old has also represented youth teams at Juventus and Mancheter United so far in his career.

But now he will get his first taste of international football.

Ronaldo Jr will be in the Portugal U15s squad to face Japan, Greece and England later this month.

Back in 2022, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo revealed that his son was determined to play alongside him one day.

He said: "My son tells me: dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!"

"Also what I want the most for Cristianito and everyone else is that they're happy and that they choose what they want.

"I will support in any way."
