The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has unveiled a redesigned number 7 for the national team’s jersey in recognition of Cristiano Ronaldo’s lasting impact on Portuguese football.
The decision celebrates the history attached to the iconic shirt number, which has become synonymous with Ronaldo’s career, achievements and unforgettable moments in the national team’s colours.
Explaining the change, the federation described it as a way of preserving the significance of the number while paying tribute to the legacy created by the legendary forward.
The FPF also confirmed that the previous number 7 design would be preserved as a symbol of Ronaldo’s contribution to the country’s football history.
