New Delhi: Sporting CP has celebrated Cristiano Ronaldo’s legendary career by releasing a special third kit for the 2024/25 season. The kit features a sleek black base complemented by gold accents on the sleeves and collar. A bold gold No. 7 streak across the front honours Ronaldo’s historic achievements, including his five Ballons d’Or.
This design celebrates his footballing success and the “effort, dedication, and devotion” that defined his journey from Sporting’s academy to global stardom.
In a fitting touch, Ronaldo’s eldest son, Cristiano Jr., modelled the jersey during its launch. The 14-year-old has been making his mark in youth football, currently playing in Al Nassr’s academy. By involving him, Sporting highlighted the continuation of Ronaldo’s legacy through his son, blending sentimentality with future aspirations.
