Petition addressed to:
Federação Portuguesa de Futebol
We ask the Portuguese Football Federation (Federação Portuguesa de Futebol) to retire the number 7 shirt of the Portuguese national team in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo once he retires from international football.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the most capped player and the all-time top scorer in the history of the Portuguese national team. He captained Portugal to its first major title at UEFA Euro 2016 and to the UEFA Nations League titles in 2019 and 2025. Retiring his number would be a lasting recognition of his contribution to Portuguese football.

Reason
For more than two decades, Cristiano Ronaldo has represented Portugal at the highest level and inspired millions of fans in Portugal and around the world. Retiring the number 7 would honour his career and show future generations what dedication to the national team means.
I love Ronaldo
