According to the announcement of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), Ronaldo Jr. will participate in the Torneio Taca das Federacoes (Federation Cup) in Antalya (Turkey) from October 30 to November 4.

Being called up to the national U16 team this time also helps Ronaldo Jr. get closer to his dream of playing alongside his 25-year-old father on the Portuguese national team. This is also what football fans have been waiting for.

Ronaldo's eldest son is currently eligible to play for five national teams, including Portugal, the United States, Spain, England and Cape Verde. However, he has chosen to stay with his father's homeland, Portugal.

Ronaldo Jr. is also training at the academy of Al Nassr (Saudi Pro League), where Ronaldo plays in Saudi Arabia. His outstanding form in the youth team has caught the eye of Portuguese scouts and earned him a chance to play for the national U16 team.

Ronaldo has never hidden his desire to play alongside his son on the professional football field. He once told Telefoot (France), the Portuguese superstar shared: "I want to play football with my son, but that depends more on me than on him."
