Cristiano Ronaldo Faces Provisional Suspension by FPF

The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has provisionally suspended Cristiano Ronaldo while its disciplinary body investigates the circumstances surrounding his exit from the national team’s training camp in September. The FPF Disciplinary Council announced this decision in a statement on October 10, 2026, following a meeting on October 9 where they decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Ronaldo based on reports received on October 7.

The federation imposed a “non-automatic provisional suspension” on Ronaldo, which was communicated to the FPF’s Disciplinary Investigation Commission on October 10 and marked as urgent. Ronaldo left the training camp in Copenhagen on September 30 after a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus regarding his role in the team.

He later apologized for his actions, accepting full responsibility, and expressed his willingness to return to the national team after serving any suspension. The FPF has stated that the proceedings will remain confidential until the investigation is concluded.
