Cristiano Ronaldo stated, in a statement published on October 6, 2026, that he decided to leave the Portuguese national team camp after the coach, according to him, did not uphold an agreement regarding his participation in a match in Norway. He said he agreed to play for 30 minutes, went to warm up at halftime, but never got to enter. He also apologized for not greeting the fans after the match. Ronaldo recounted that, after the 2026 World Cup, he prepared a farewell letter and that the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) asked him to consider continuing. He said he supported the choice of the current coach, and that the coach proposed he play the first and last game, with rotations, and not travel to Norway and Denmark. Ronaldo stated that he refused to stay in Portugal and that the coach agreed. According to the player, the coach initially maintained the plan agreed upon in a conversation at his house, along with Simão Coutinho, the sports director of Al Nassr. Ronaldo said that he agreed to be substituted in a game in Alvalade without protesting and passed the captain's armband to Bruno Fernandes. Regarding the match in Norway, he said he expected to play again only at the Dragão but accepted the offer to come in for 30 minutes. Ronaldo said that, 48 hours later, he arranged with the coach for him to explain at a press conference that the plan had been his initiative and that he had made a mistake by having him warm up without using him. He added that, at the coach's request, a document was prepared with Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro, validated by him and submitted to the coach. According to Ronaldo, the notes acknowledged that he accepted the plan and was loyal and professional but did not include an apology. The player stated that this was the second time the coach had failed to keep his word and that he decided to leave the camp because he felt trust was broken. He said that, on the morning of the conference, the president of the FPF and the coach assured him that his place on the team was still secure. Ronaldo took full responsibility for leaving the camp, apologized to his teammates and the Portuguese fans, and declared that the FPF should evaluate and punish the act, without mitigation, also considering his role as captain. Ronaldo added that there could be one or more farewell matches, but he associated the national team with competition. He said that after serving any suspension that might be imposed on him, he would be available to play and fight for victories if he was physically well and playing for the club. He also recalled that he stayed in a camp after learning of his father's death, until finishing the next game. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoPortuguesa #Futebol (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

Gustavo Tutinha wrote that Vasco filed an appeal on Friday (02) at the TJRJ against the decision of the 2nd Civil Court that did not analyze its urgent request to use Maracanã against Boca Juniors and suspended the process for 20 days, after a statement from Fla-Flu Serviços in 48 hours. According to Tutinha, Vasco argued that it needs to indicate the stadium to CONMEBOL by 10/05 for the match on 10/20 at 21:30, and that the suspension could make a subsequent decision pointless. The club requested that Judge Rose Marie Pimentel Martins, from the 5th Chamber of Public Law, grant the request directly for Maracanã to be made available. As an alternative, it requested the end of the suspension and that the first-instance judge analyze the preliminary injunction without waiting for the appeal related to the popular action. Tutinha reported that Vasco also contested the technical criteria used to deny the stadium and claimed a contradiction in the concessionaire's position on the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Vasco, Flamengo, and Fluminense. The club stated that the restrictions should be applied in a non-discriminatory manner and cited ten official matches held at Maracanã in May 2026, nine of them between the 9th and 30th, including games on consecutive days: Fluminense x Bolívar on 05/19, and Flamengo x Estudiantes on 05/20; Flamengo x Cusco on 05/26, and Fluminense x Deportivo La Guaira on 05/27. According to Tutinha, Vasco also mentioned the indication of Maracanã by PMERJ as the most suitable option for security planning. Among the requests, it included non-discriminatory commercial and operational conditions, a maximum ticket load according to the authorized capacity, and a daily fine of R$ 1 million in case of non-compliance. #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

🚨 VASCO CONTESTS TECHNICAL CRITERIA OF FLA-FLU, POINTS OUT VIOLATION OF CONCESSION RULES AND CITES DECISION FROM TJRJ IN ACTION FOR MARACANÃ Vasco filed an obligation lawsuit on Wednesday (1st) with a request for urgent protective measures to try to secure the Maracanã against Boca Juniors on October 20, for the semifinal of the South American Cup. In the action, the club directly questions the technical criteria used by Fla-Flu to deny the stadium, points out unequal treatment, supports violations of concession rules, and also explores a contradiction involving the Memorandum of Understanding. 📌 WHAT FLA-FLU ALLEGED In response to Vasco, the concessionaire pointed to the accumulated wear of the lawn, the climatic conditions of July and August, and the need to preserve the intervals designated for field maintenance. For 10/20, Fla-Flu specifically mentioned games of Fluminense on 10/18 and Flamengo on 10/22. With Vasco x Boca between these matches, there would be three games in five days. According to the concessionaire, this sequence would prevent procedures such as helical mowing, targeted fertilization, supplemental lighting, and repair of damage to the lawn. 📌 VASCO QUESTIONS THE TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION The first counterpoint is the lawn itself. Vasco highlights that, three days after the denial, it was announced that the existing field would be removed and new Bermuda Celebration rolls would be placed, with the return of football scheduled for 10/08. Vasco x Boca will be on 10/20. The club's thesis is that it would not be possible to use the accumulated wear of the old lawn as justification for a match that will take place 12 days after the return of football to the renewed field. 📌 GREENLEAF DOCUMENT IS USED BY VASCO Vasco also retrieves the technical planning prepared by Greenleaf, the company responsible for lawn maintenance, in August. According to the action, the document shows that the same procedures cited by Fla-Flu to deny Vasco x Boca have already been carried out in a concentrated manner between matches. The petition states that helical mowing, targeted fertilization, supplemental lighting, and damage repair have even been grouped in a single day after a match, even in a winter scenario and lawn wear. The question posed by Vasco is direct: if this work could be done in August to accommodate the sequence of games from Flamengo and Fluminense, why couldn't it be repeated in October, after the complete lawn replacement? 📌 INTERVAL BETWEEN GAMES Vasco also contests the argument of three games in five days by comparing the situation with the recent calendar of the Maracanã. The action argues that sequences with reduced intervals for Flamengo and Fluminense matches have already been admitted. For Vasco, if the necessary interval for lawn recovery is decisive for denying a match, that criterion must be applied equally to all clubs. 📌 SHOWS AND OTHER EVENTS The action also points out that the Maracanã hosts shows, religious gatherings, and events from other sports, including the installation of structures and occupancy of the field area. Vasco questions how the administration can reconcile these events with lawn preservation, yet considers it technically unfeasible to host a semifinal of CONMEBOL. According to the data presented in the action, at least seven extraordinary events unrelated to official football were held between 2025 and 09/30/2026. 📌 CONCESSION NOTICE Vasco cites item 3.4 of the Terms of Reference, which gives priority to football events from the official calendars of FIFA, CONMEBOL, CBF, and FERJ over other events. Vasco x Boca is an official semifinal of CONMEBOL. The action argues that there would be an "inversion of this priority" by accommodating shows and other events and denying the stadium for a match that, under the concession rules cited by the club, should have priority. The petition mentions "distortion of the concessionaire's obligations" and "violation of the equal treatment required by the Concession Notice." 📌 UNEQUAL TREATMENT Vasco summarizes its challenge in four points: • the lawn replacement would change the premise of accumulated wear; • Greenleaf's own planning would demonstrate that maintenance could be carried out between matches; • the calendar would show reduced intervals that have already been admitted for Flamengo and Fluminense; • other events are reconciled with the necessary care for field preservation. As a result, Vasco asserts that restrictions are being applied selectively. The action further cites clause 13.2 of the Concession Contract, which prohibits favoritism and unjustifiably different, discriminatory treatment, or "without technical criteria" that results in restricted access to the Complex. 📌 THE CONTRADICTION POINTED OUT BY VASCO Fla-Flu claims not to recognize the validity of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2025. At the same time, according to Vasco, it uses the document itself—especially the provision for four matches conditioned on availability and operational conditions—to justify the denial. Vasco points out contradictory behavior and invokes the principle of good faith. 📌 PREVIOUS DECISION OF TJRJ The action also cites the Instrument Appeal No. 3023517-70.2026.8.19.0000. On that occasion, Justice Alexandre Freitas Câmara analyzed the discussion regarding the absence of Fla-Flu's signature on the Memorandum. The magistrate stated that Flamengo and Fluminense, members of the concessionaire, had signed the document and pointed out that disregarding it later could represent contradictory behavior contrary to good faith. 📌 RECOMMENDATION FROM BEPE The issue of public safety also appears as an argument for the use of the Maracanã. According to the action, BEPE (Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums) recommended holding the match at the Maracanã due to the magnitude of the confrontation and the expected public turnout. Vasco uses this recommendation to argue that the Maracanã is not just a preference of the club. The petition points to the stadium as the option that best meets capacity, location, structure, security, and operational conditions to host the match against Boca. 📌 SÃO JANUÁRIO IS NOT AN OPTION Vasco also differentiates the situation from the previous process involving Vasco x Vitória, when it did not obtain a preliminary injunction to use the Maracanã. This time, according to the action, São Januário cannot host the semifinal. The South American Manual requires a minimum capacity of 30,000 spectators starting from the semifinals, while the petition indicates São Januário has approximately 21,880 seats. Vasco acknowledges the Nilton Santos Stadium as an alternative but argues that having another stadium does not resolve the issue brought to Justice: is there legitimate technical and contractual basis for Fla-Flu to deny Maracanã? 📌 WHAT VASCO SEEKS Vasco is seeking a preliminary injunction requiring Fla-Flu to make the Maracanã available for Vasco x Boca on 10/20 at 9:30 PM. The request includes the maximum ticket allocation corresponding to the authorized capacity, the use of necessary facilities for organizing the match, the implementation of a mosaic, and temporary installation of banners in the same manner allowed for the clubs that are members of the concessionaire. In case of non-compliance, Vasco requests a daily fine of R$ 1 million. Vasco must inform CONMEBOL by October 5 where it will hold the return match of the semifinal. #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo gave a lot to the National Team. In individual and historical terms, no Portuguese has given more. That is the truth. But what did the National Team give to Cristiano Ronaldo? I remember well how, even at open training sessions, that group embraced an 18-year-old kid. And we are talking about the first generation with full recognition abroad. Luís Figo (Ballon d'Or), Rui Costa, Pauleta, Fernando Couto, the great generation of FC Porto under Mourinho. They also had reasons to feel proud and to be main figures. It was beautiful to see the passing of the torch in 2004 and 2006 where CR7 was welcomed, cherished, and thrown to the lions with warm support. Now I want you to think with me, what would have happened to Cristiano Ronaldo if in 2004, when he came on at halftime of Portugal's first game in the Euro, someone who left had started to throw a tantrum? Sour face? Consecutive press conferences with 10 questions on the subject? Wouldn't this have affected him? This is also what a National Team is about: knowing how to welcome those who arrive, protecting those who are taking their first steps, and, above all, knowing how to pass on the torch. The generation of Figo, Rui Costa, Pauleta, Fernando Couto, and company did this with Cristiano Ronaldo. And perhaps one of the greatest responsibilities of the established players, the captains of a National Team is precisely this: to ensure that the next generation enters through the door with warm support and the capacity to embrace the future. Very sad what CR7 did with Gonçalo Ramos, Fábio Silva, João Félix, etc. Yes, Ronaldo gave a lot to the National Team. But he also drank a lot from the generation of the National Team that was there when he arrived. I sincerely believe that only Alex Ferguson gave him more. The way CR7 leaves the National Team in flames is the biggest failure of the colossal career of the former captain of the National Team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)
