Mini Ronaldo was called up by the national team for the first time, starting a new milestone in football

Mini Ronaldo, the eldest son of Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (C Ronaldo), recently ushered in an important step in his career: he was called up by the Portuguese U16 national team for the first time and will soon represent his motherland in international events.

The 15-year-old young player has emerged and has been recognized by the national brand

At only 15 years old, Mini Luo has successfully impressed the youth coaching staff of the Portuguese Football Association with his outstanding performance in the U14 and U15 echelons. According to the official announcement of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), Mini Ronaldo has been selected for the U16 national team roster and will travel with the team to the "Confederations Cup" to be held in Antalya, Turkey from October 30 to November 4. This selection marks the second-generation star's official entry into the professional football arena, and also brings him one step closer to following in his father's footsteps.

Already performed brilliantly in the international arena

As early as May this year, Mini Ronaldo represented the Portuguese U15 national team in the Valtko Markovic International Championship held in Croatia. He scored two goals in four games, including a brace in the final against hosts Croatia. Although Portugal ultimately lost 2-3, his performance has attracted widespread attention.

Having the choice of five countries, he chose to follow his father's footsteps

According to European media reports, due to his family background and growth experience, Miniro is qualified to represent five different countries-Portugal, the United States, Spain, England and Cape Verde. However, he ultimately chose to follow his father's footsteps and play steadfastly for Portugal's youth teams at all levels.

Currently, Miniro is training and playing at the youth academy of the Saudi professional league giant Riyadh Victory, and his father is the star of the club. Under the cultivation of the youth training system of top clubs, Mini Luo's skills, awareness and playing temperament are gradually taking shape.

Future star, highly anticipated

With his stable performance in youth competitions at all levels, Miniro has entered the key observation list of the Portuguese Football Association's scouting system. Being selected for the U16 national team this time is not only an affirmation of his personal ability, but also indicates that he has been regarded as a potential new star in Portuguese football in the future.
