Ronaldo fined 255 euros by Portuguese federation for early departure from training camp

The FPF announced on 19 October that Cristiano Ronaldo would pay a €255 fine for his early departure from the national team training camp. The announcement was made by the federation’s Disciplinary Council, according to the FPF statement. The fine is described as a symbolic penalty. The council also confirmed a 30‑day suspension for Ronaldo.

The 30‑day suspension began on 30 September, the day after Ronaldo left the camp. It will end before Portugal’s next Nations League matches against Denmark on 14 November and Wales on 17 November. The suspension is therefore considered largely served. The FPF said Ronaldo would be available for those games.

The incident occurred during the Nations League break. Ronaldo left the camp after the 2‑1 match against Norway, where he was not used in the game. Coach Jorge Jesus had asked him to play 30 minutes before the match, but Ronaldo did not appear. Ronaldo claimed the coach had broken his word, leading to the dispute.

The disciplinary process was opened on 9 October and closed on 19 October. The FPF’s Disciplinary Council ruled that Ronaldo had intentionally violated Article 160 of the disciplinary code. The council’s decision was made in full support of the charges. The council’s statement was released on the same day the case was closed.
