Sporting CP, the former club of Cristiano Ronaldo, has honored his legacy by launching a new jersey, showcased by his eldest son.
In late November, the club unveiled its third kit for the 2024/25 season. The design features a black base with gold accents on the collar and sleeves, including a golden stripe on the front shaped like the No. 7.
This special kit is dedicated to Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al Nassr, and celebrates his five Ballon d’Or victories, highlighting his commitment and achievements in football.
The club stated, “Certain numbers create a legacy because they are backed by individuals who contribute to it every day.”

Cristiano Ronaldo began his career at Sporting CP, progressing from the youth academy to the first team from 2002 to 2003, before moving to Manchester United, where he made history.
Despite his success, the 39-year-old continues to cherish his roots, and there have been discussions about a potential return to Sporting CP before he retires.
Cristiano Jr. has also followed in his father’s footsteps, playing youth football at clubs like Juventus and Manchester United, and is currently part of the Al Nassr academy.
