Ronaldo's son can play for 5 teams

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has the potential to become a great player in the future.

Based on nationality, birthplace and length of stay, Ronaldo Jr can play for Portugal, the United States, England, Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. According to A Bola , Ronaldo Jr has always dreamed of playing for Portugal, the country of his father.

Ronaldo Jr. is also a Portuguese national by birth, making him a natural choice. However, competition for the Portuguese national team is fierce.

Ronaldo Jr. could also choose to play for the US national team, as he was born in San Diego, California in 2010. According to US citizenship laws, being born on US soil makes him eligible to represent the national team. In addition, Ronaldo Jr.'s mother is believed to be an American citizen.

Ronaldo Jr. also lived in England for more than five years, mainly during his father's time at Manchester United (2003–2009 and 2021–2022). According to FIFA regulations, a player must have spent at least five years continuously residing in a country after the age of 18 (or a significant period of residence during childhood) to be eligible to represent that country.

The same is true for Ronaldo Jr and Spain. He lived in Spain for more than three years before turning 10, while his father played for Real Madrid (2009-2018). FIFA regulations allow players to represent their country of residence for at least three years before turning 10, making Spain a valid option.

Ronaldo will have a headache choosing a team for his son to play for.

Based on family heritage, Ronaldo Jr. has roots in Cape Verde through his paternal grandfather's family. FIFA allows players to represent a country with which they are related, even if they were not born or resided there.

This is an interesting choice because Cape Verde is emerging in African football with its first qualification for the 2026 World Cup. In addition, the country is quite open to inviting players with ancient roots. The competition in the Cape Verde team is also less fierce than Portugal, Spain or England.

Now 15, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is developing his skills at the youth academy of Al-Nassr, the club his father plays for in the Saudi Pro League. However, the decision of which country to represent will have a huge impact on Ronaldo Jr.'s international opportunities, especially if he fails to break into the ranks of the world's top stars in the future.
