Cristiano dos Santos, the eldest son of five-time Ballon D’Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo has received his maiden call-up to the U-15 Portugal team.
The 14-year-old Cristiano Jr. was called up ahead of the seventh edition of the Vlatko Markovic youth tournament in Croatia from May 13-18.
The Selecao will play four matches at the tournament – the first three against Japan (May 13), Greece (May 14) and England (May 16).
The fourth and final match will take place on May 18, with the opponent yet to be decided.
Ronaldo took to Instagram to celebrate his son’s national team call-up.
“Orgulho em ti filho! (Proud of you, son!),” he wrote on the social media platform on Tuesday.
Like his father, Cristiano Jr. plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and also had spells with Ronaldo’s former clubs Manchester United and Juventus.
