Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the eldest son of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, made his international debut for Portugal’s U-15 national team on Tuesday, May 13, helping the team to a convincing 4-1 win over Japan.
The 14-year-old forward, who currently plays for Al Nassr’s youth academy, was subbed on in the 54th minute with Portugal already ahead 3-0, thanks to a first-half hat trick by Braga’s Rafael Cabral.
Proud father Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated the milestone on social media, posting: “Congratulations on your Portugal debut, son. Very proud of you.”
The match marked Portugal’s opening game in the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament, taking place in Croatia. The team will face Greece on Wednesday and England on Friday, before wrapping up the tournament on Sunday against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.
