Portuguese football federation has launched disciplinary proceedings against Cristiano Ronaldo for leaving the team camp unauthorised during the UEFA Nations League clash against Norway. The incident occurred when head coach Jorge Jesus allegedly refused to play Ronaldo in the second half, despite promising him 30 minutes of playing time. The striker claimed that Jesus had breached an agreement regarding his role after the 2026 World Cup.
Following the dispute, Ronaldo decided to leave the team camp without permission, leading to a provisional suspension from the federation. Ronaldo later issued an apology to fans and teammates, acknowledging that disciplinary action might follow. Despite his apology, the federation will continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding his departure.
Ronaldo, who is nearing the end of his career, is Portugal's all-time leading goal scorer and currently serves as the team captain. The federation has emphasized that all players must adhere to the same rules, regardless of their reputation or achievements. The final verdict on Ronaldo's suspension could determine whether he returns to the national team without restrictions or faces further consequences.
