Portugal: PFF rejects Ronaldo's quiet retirement from international football, reveals next action

The Portuguese Football Federation (PFF) has announced plans to honor Cristiano Ronaldo with a farewell tribute, rejecting the idea of a quiet retirement from international football. In a recent statement, the federation emphasized that Ronaldo will not be allowed to end his international career without proper recognition. Following the emotional video announcement by the Al Nassr captain, the PFF confirmed its intention to organize a special ceremony to celebrate the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who is Portugal's most-capped player and all-time leading goalscorer.

The federation expressed its gratitude to Ronaldo, describing him as "the eternal captain" and reaffirmed its desire to actively collaborate in the event that will allow fans and the entire nation to applaud and celebrate his remarkable contribution to Portuguese football. Ronaldo, 40, has made 234 appearances and scored 146 goals for his country, playing a crucial role in Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph.

While the details of the ceremony, including the date, venue, and potential opponent, remain undisclosed, the PFF remains committed to giving Ronaldo a fitting farewell, vowing, "Let's go for goal 1,000."
