In their first match since Cristiano Ronaldo's farewell announcement, Portugal will honour their former captain against Denmark, with players, staff and federation officials all wearing No. 7 shirts in Braga.


Portugal to honour Ronaldo with No. 7 tribute ahead...


Portugal are set to play their first official fixture since Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed his international farewell, and the Portuguese Football Federation has planned a tribute to mark the occasion.


Before kick-off against Denmark in Braga, every member of the Portugal delegation will walk out onto the pitch in No. 7 shirts in honour of their former captain.


The report was first broken by Diário de Notícias.


Beyond the national-team players, members of the Portuguese Football Federation board and the coaching staff will also don the No. 7 shirt as a tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo.


The decision was reached collectively, with input from the national team's current captains a group made up of the most-capped players in Jorge Jesus's squad: Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias and Bruno Fernandes.



Portugal host Denmark at the Municipal Stadium in Braga, with kick-off set for 20:45 CET on Saturday. A point against the Scandinavian side would be enough for Portugal to seal top spot in Nations League Group A4.
