The heir to football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., might have the option to play for as many as five distinct nations at the professional level, states an article from Sports Outlet, 433.
At just 14 years old, this young player, who has exhibited flashes of the talent seen in his father's career with various youth squads, is eligible to represent several national teams because of where he was born, his family background, and having lived in different nations.
The report indicates that Ronaldo Jr. can represent Portugal based on his father’s nationality, and because he was born in the United States, he automatically qualifies to play for the U.S. national squad as well.
His tenure in Spain, where he resided for three years before turning ten while his father was playing for Real Madrid, could qualify him for consideration by the Spanish national squad, as per the report.
Furthermore, his prolonged residence in England—which lasted more than five years while Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United—makes him eligible for the English national team.
He could equally represent Cape Verde due to his familial connections with the West African country.
Full list
Portugal—through his father’s nationality
The United States of America—as he was born there
Spain—inhabiting Spain for three years prior to reaching the age of 10
England—having resided there for over 5 years
Cape Verde—through family ancestry
