Portugal will honour Cristiano Ronaldo with a special tribute before their UEFA Nations League match against Denmark in Braga on Saturday (November 14), with the entire squad set to wear his iconic No. 7 shirt.
According to Portuguese newspaper 'Diário de Notícias', players will enter the pitch wearing the shirts, while supporters are expected to give Ronaldo a standing ovation in the seventh minute.
The tribute was reportedly finalised at a meeting involving Portuguese Football Federation President Pedro Proença, coach Jorge Jesus and senior players Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias and Bruno Fernandes.
The federation will also keep vacant the room Ronaldo used at its training headquarters, Cidade do Futebol, following his international retirement.
Ronaldo, who made his Portugal debut in August 2003, ended his international career with 234 appearances and 146 goals, remaining the world's leading international scorer.
