Cristiano Ronaldo has been temporarily suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation following the opening of disciplinary proceedings against him.
The decision was made on October 9, 2026, while a final ruling on the Portuguese superstar is expected after the case has been reviewed.
According to the Federation’s official statement, the proceedings aim to investigate the events reported on October 7. The authorities have also imposed a non-automatic provisional suspension on the footballer and classified the case as urgent.
The case is related to Ronaldo’s departure from the Portugal national team camp, an incident he addressed publicly by apologizing and suggesting that disciplinary action should be taken against him.
In its official statement, the Portuguese Football Federation confirmed that disciplinary proceedings were opened by its Non-Professional Section on October 9 to examine potential disciplinary responsibility for the events reported two days earlier.
For the time being, the suspension remains provisional, and a final decision regarding Ronaldo’s case has yet to be announced.
