  "account": "Portugal's national team captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been penalized by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). The federation has imposed a €255 fine and a 30-day suspension on Ronaldo for leaving the team's camp in Copenhagen, Denmark, on September 30. The disciplinary council found Ronaldo guilty of an intentional disciplinary offence under Article 160(1) of the federation's regulations. Ronaldo's departure came following a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus over his role in the team. The dispute arose after Portugal's 2-1 victory over Norway on September 27, where Ronaldo was an unused substitute. The suspension's terms do not specify which matches or activities it would affect. Portuguese FA president Pedro Proença has expressed support for Ronaldo, describing him as one of the most important figures in Portuguese football.",
