Sporting CP launch Cristiano Ronaldo-themed third kit ft Portugal star's son
Liga Portugal club Sporting CP has unveiled a special third kit in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo, their former star and one of football’s greatest icons. The tribute featured a video showcasing Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr., wearing the number 7 jersey of the same design, further amplifying the emotional connection between the club and its legendary alumnus.
Ronaldo’s journey began at Sporting CP (then Sporting Lisbon) in 2002, where he made his debut before transferring to Manchester United in 2003 for €19 million. That move marked the start of a remarkable career, solidifying Ronaldo as one of the greatest players in football history.

The tribute jersey reflects Sporting CP’s ongoing admiration for Ronaldo, who continues to inspire generations. The video of Cristiano Jr. wearing the jersey served as a poignant reminder of the forward’s enduring influence on the club and the sport.
Currently, Ronaldo is making waves in the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr, where he has netted 15 goals in 17 appearances across all competitions. Despite his move away from European football, the 39-year-old remains a force to be reckoned with, holding the all-time goal-scoring record for both club and country with an astounding 915 goals.
Ronaldo’s achievements have also earned him a nomination for the FIFA Best Attacker award, recognising his stellar performances for Portugal and Al Nassr during the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 seasons.
Sporting CP’s tribute, through this specially designed kit, celebrates not just Ronaldo’s legacy with the club but also his ongoing excellence in football. It’s a testament to the enduring bond between the Portuguese star and his boyhood team.
