Cristiano Ronaldo inspires Sporting CP’s new jersey
“There are numbers that leave a legacy because behind them are people who build it day by day. We proudly present the number 7 (...) in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo and his five Ballon d'Or awards,” the club highlighted in an official statement.
Sporting CP unveiled their third jersey of the season, a design honoring their most famous academy graduate, Cristiano Ronaldo, and his five Ballon d'Or victories throughout his illustrious career.
The jersey features a black base with gold details and prominently displays the iconic number 7, synonymous with Cristiano’s legacy.
A legacy that transcends generations
For the launch, Sporting CP released a promotional video starring Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the eldest son of the legendary former Real Madrid forward. The connection between the Ronaldo family and the Lisbon-based club remains a symbol of pride for the institution.
Currently a key player for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano began his career in Sporting CP's academy before making his professional debut with the senior team. In his honor, the club's training center bears the name "Cristiano Ronaldo Academy," and Gate 7 of the José Alvalade Stadium features his image, recognizing his enduring impact on the green-and-white team’s history.
