The Portuguese Football Federation's Disciplinary Board has imposed a 30-day suspension and a 255-euro fine on national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo. This sanction follows an investigation into his unexcused departure from the national team camp in Copenhagen. The 41-year-old Al Nassr forward was found fully liable for his absence, which occurred late last month before Nations League group stage matches against Denmark and Norway. Federation regulations stipulate potential suspensions of one to six months for such infractions, along with financial penalties. This 30-day ban temporarily prevents Ronaldo, Portugal's all-time appearance and goalscorer record holder with 234 caps and 146 goals, from national team call-ups. He previously captained Portugal to victory at Euro 2016 and secured two Nations League titles. The decision now shifts focus to future squad selections by the coaching staff.
