Cristiano Ronaldo has been issued a 30-day suspension and a €255 fine by the Portuguese Football Federation following his departure from the national team camp earlier this month. According to Fabrizio Romano on X, the suspension will allow Ronaldo to return to his teammates for the upcoming FIFA international window in November.

The incident occurred in late September when Ronaldo left the camp after a dispute with manager Jorge Jesus over his playing time. This confrontation followed his early substitution during a match against Wales and subsequent benching in a game against Norway. Ronaldo departed after discovering he would not be starting against Denmark, claiming that the coach had broken promises regarding his minutes.
The Portuguese Football Federation responded swiftly by placing Ronaldo under a provisional suspension and initiating disciplinary procedures, which ultimately resulted in the official 30-day ban.
In November, during the international window, Portugal will compete in two critical matches to conclude the group stage of the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League. They will host Denmark on Saturday, November 14, at Estadio Municipal de Braga, followed by an away game against Wales at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, November 17. The Portuguese team aims to secure the top position in Group D before advancing to next year’s knockout rounds.
