Fanella number 7, which for more than two decades was a symbol of Cristiano Ronaldo to Portugal’s national, will not eventually withdraw after the departure of the Portuguese star.
Despite the extraordinary history this number has created with Ronaldo, FIFA regulations do not allow men’s nationals to attract fan numbers forever, despite the legacy of football players who held them.
In fact, number seven has already started a new chapter without CR7. During Portugal’s recent gathering, Rafael Leao was wearing this fan, and in the past, Nani, Ricardo Quaresma, Bruma, and Andre Silva have been held.
UEFA regulations also require that fan numbers be determined for each official match, preventing Portugal from keeping number 7 out of use.
Former Portuguese footballer Paulo Futre had even proposed that this number be attracted to Ronaldo, but that is not allowed by international rules.
Thus, the 7-number fanella will continue to be part of the Portuguese national, although for fans and football history it will remain closely linked to Cristiano Ronaldon.
