Before the match against Denmark in Braga, the entire Portugal delegation will pay tribute to the former national-team captain by taking to the pitch wearing No. 7 shirts.
The news was first reported by Diário de Notícias and confirmed by Flashscore. In addition to the national-team players, the Portuguese football federation's board and coaching staff will also wear No. 7 in tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The decision was made collectively and involved the national team's current captains, a group that includes the most-capped players in Jorge Jesus's squad: Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias and Bruno Fernandes.
Portugal face Denmark at the Municipal Stadium in Braga, with kick-off scheduled for 20:45 CET on Saturday. If they take a point against the Scandinavian side, Portugal will secure the top spot in Nations League Group A4.
