Cristiano Ronaldo's son could play for five national teams, including his great-grandmother's country

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, the son of famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, is eligible to represent five different national teams thanks to his origin and country of birth.

Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is a member of the youth team of Al-Nassr, the club where his father plays, and has already come through the youth ranks of clubs such as Juventus and Manchester United.

Although he still has a long way to go to become a professional footballer, the question arises as to which national team he will play for if he one day reaches that level.

As the son of a Portuguese citizen, Cristiano Jr. is eligible to play for the Portuguese national team, which should be the most logical thing.

However, CR Junior was born in the United States of America, which automatically gives him the right to American citizenship and the ability to play for the American national team.

Also, during his father's time at Real Madrid, the family lived in Spain. If Cristiano Jr gains Spanish citizenship, he could also represent La Roja.

In Spain, you have to live for at least three years before turning ten to apply for citizenship, and CR Junior lived until he was eight years old.

As his father played for Manchester United, the family also spent time in England and this stay, combined with previous formalities and some minor legalities, would allow CR Junior to obtain English citizenship.

Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo Junior could also play for Cape Verde. Namely, Isabel da Piedade, originally from Cape Verde, is the grandmother of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo's mother.

On this basis, Junior could play for this African team, but this is certainly the least likely solution. /Telegraph/
