Portugal's football governing body has suspended Cristiano Ronaldo for 30 days and imposed a fine of €255 following his unauthorized departure from the national team camp, according to an official announcement.
The suspension stems from a disagreement between Ronaldo and head coach Jorge Jesus over the player's position and responsibilities within the national squad. The veteran forward left the team camp without authorization after the dispute with the coaching staff.
The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed the disciplinary measures against the 39-year-old forward, citing breach of team protocol. However, specific details regarding which matches or team activities the suspension will cover remain unclear at present.
The incident marks a significant moment in Ronaldo's tenure with the Portuguese national team, where he has served as one of the squad's most prominent figures for nearly two decades.
