Cristiano Ronaldo suspended over camp exit, Portugal set to announce disciplinary action

Cristiano Ronaldo has been provisionally suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation after a disciplinary case was opened over his departure from Portugal’s national team camp.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been provisionally suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) after the governing body opened a disciplinary case over his departure from Portugal’s national team camp.

The decision was announced on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Following the suspension, Ronaldo will have to wait for the outcome of the investigation before a final decision is made on the matter.

The 41-year-old explained that his decision followed a disagreement with Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus over a promise concerning his involvement in the team’s matches.

Ronaldo said the coach had initially agreed that he would miss the matches against Norway and Denmark to manage his fitness.

However, Ronaldo claimed Jesus later told him he would play for 30 minutes against Norway. He said he warmed up during the match but was not introduced. Ronaldo further claimed that an agreement had been reached for the coach to explain the situation publicly, but Jesus’s subsequent comments did not reflect their private discussion.
