Undoubtedly, for many people around the world, especially football lovers, Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player to have ever existed in the history of football, and those who do not agree at least claim that he is among the best. However, the ex-Real Madrid player has few years left as a professional footballer, and his followers want to avoid that sadness, so they have already focused their eyes on his heir: Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
In that line, the son of the Portuguese player can play for up to three national teams, and there is even the possibility that he could face Peru in the Copa America at some point, as he has the option of wearing the shirt of a country from our continent. Therefore, here we tell you in which nations we could see Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., who has just made his debut with the U-13 of Al-Nassr.
Why national teams can Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. play for?
The 12-year-old footballer can play for three national teams, with Portugal being the most likely, since his father is a Portuguese idol and even managed to win a European Championship at some point. However, besides the obvious, there are two other countries for which Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. has the right to represent. The first of them is Spain, as he spent 10 years living there.
And the son of the ex-Manchester United player lived in Spain since he was a child, and everyone who reaches a decade living in that country gains the right to represent the national team, so if he decides, he can play for La Roja. However, there is a third nation that could tempt him, and it is from our continent, so it would not be far-fetched to see him facing the Peruvian national team.
It turns out that Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. can play for the United States because he was born in the North American nation, and despite not currently living there and spending little time in that country, by birthright he is eligible for their national team.
