Cristiano Ronaldo Jr Makes Portugal Under-17 Debut as Report Links Family to Cascais Move

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr made his Portugal under-17 debut on Thursday, 12 November, coming off the bench in a 4–0 win over Andorra in a European Championship qualifier at Cidade do Futebol in Oeiras.

The 16-year-old forward wore No. 18 and came on in the second half with Portugal already four goals ahead. He went close to scoring late in the match, sending a header narrowly wide.

The game had been moved from Wednesday to Thursday because of bad weather.

Diego Farinha scored twice, while Kauã Miranda converted a penalty and Rafael Cabral added the other goal. The victory gave Filipe Ramos’s side three points in Group 6.

Portugal next face Bulgaria on 14 November and Serbia on 17 November, according to UEFA’s fixture list.

Separately, Portuguese magazine TV 7 Dias reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for his family to settle permanently in Cascais.

Citing unnamed sources familiar with the preparations, the magazine said the move could take place in July 2027, after the children finish the school year in Riyadh. Ronaldo and his representatives have yet to confirm the plans publicly.

The debut came a week after the senior Ronaldo announced his retirement from international football. He finished his Portugal career with 146 goals in 234 appearances, both men’s international records, and continues to play club football for Al Nassr.
