The President of the Portuguese Football Federation, Pedro Proença, has commented on the suspension of forward Cristiano Ronaldo. The 40-year-old footballer received a red card in Thursday's match against Ireland (0–2).
Following this penalty, the star footballer could miss the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals. "We will do everything in our power to ensure the penalty imposed on Ronaldo is as light as possible.
We have analyzed the situation from a legal standpoint. We hope the suspension will be minimal, and that all mitigating circumstances will be taken into account.
We all want Cristiano to participate in the first match of the 2026 World Cup," Proença stated in an interview. On Sunday, the Portuguese national team, without Ronaldo, secured a massive victory against Armenia (9–1) and directly qualified for the World Cup.
