The federation’s Disciplinary Council confirmed the decision in a statement reported by Portuguese public broadcaster RTP on Saturday, October 10, 2026.
According to the statement, the council decided on October 9 to open disciplinary proceedings against the Portugal captain over the possible disciplinary implications of events reported to it on October 7.
The federation said a provisional suspension had been imposed on the forward, while the case was referred to its Disciplinary Investigation Commission on October 10 and classified as urgent.
The FPF added that details of the proceedings would remain confidential until the investigation was completed.
Ronaldo reportedly left Portugal’s training camp in Copenhagen on September 30 following a disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus over his role in the team.
In a report published on October 6, beIN SPORTS said the 40-year-old had apologised for leaving the camp and indicated that he would accept any punishment imposed on him.
“I should not have done it. The responsibility is exclusively mine,” Ronaldo said in a statement quoted by the broadcaster, while apologising to his national team teammates.
The forward also ruled out retiring from international football and expressed his willingness to return to the national team after serving any suspension.
RTP similarly reported that Ronaldo had indicated he was ready to rejoin Portugal’s squad.
The latest suspension is provisional, and the disciplinary proceedings remain ongoing. The federation has not disclosed the final punishment Ronaldo could face.
