Portugal honours Cristiano Ronaldon, number 7 fanella remains intact in the match with Denmark

Portugal’s national has decided to do a special honor to Cristiano Ronaldo, respecting the ike fanele with the number 7, which the Portuguese star held for more than two decades.

In the League of Nations match against Denmark, which takes place in Braga, Portuguese football players will use a special design of number 7 with a cross line so that Ronaldo’s traditional number 7 will remain intact and no other player will be assigned.

The gesture comes after Ronaldo’s decision to end his career with Portugal’s national, which he made public on November 5, 2026, thus closing a 23-year chapter with the national fanele.

During this period, Ronaldo recorded 234 presentations and scored 146 goals, becoming the best goalist in the history of international national football.

Meanwhile, Rafael Leão had earlier received the number 7 fanella after Ronaldo’s departure from a national gathering, but a special organization to honor Portuguese legend was envisioned for the match.

Honor will not be limited to fans. During the seventh minute of the match with Denmark, a memorial moment has also been scheduled in respect for the footballer, who has made the number 7 symbol of his career.

Portugal, in this way, wants to make it clear that Ronaldo’s departure from international football does not mean that his story with the national lantern will be forgotten. Rather, the number he accompanied throughout his career will continue to have special meaning for the Portuguese. /GazeraExpress/
