Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the son of Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, has received his first call-up to the Portugal Under-17 national team. The selection was announced on November 4, 2026, marking a significant milestone in the young player's developing career.

The 11-year-old forward, who currently plays in the youth academy of Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has been monitored by Portuguese youth coaches for several months. His inclusion in the U-17 squad suggests the federation sees potential in his progression despite his age.

Portugal's U-17 team is preparing for upcoming European qualifiers, and Ronaldo Jr.'s addition provides an intriguing storyline given his father's record-breaking international career with the senior national team.
