Cristiano Ronaldo speaks out about women's football

Al-Nasr and Portugal national team striker Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about the development of women's football. He sent a “message” that was read out at the Gala das Campeãs event dedicated to the development of women's football in Portugal.

“Portugal is our homeland, it belongs to those who do not bow to the trials of fate, and to those who grow up hoping for the impossible. So much so that now women's football has stopped hitting the crossbar. Because today this football scores goals, captivates people all over the country and tells girls without fear: “Come play!”

It is a source of pride to think about all this on a holiday. The first of many events that will celebrate, reward, highlight and immortalize women's football in a unique and special place like Portugal!

Let's fight together. Not just today, but every day. Girls need more and more fields, they need them. It is with great pride that I hug you (footballers) and will support you with great energy in the future. I challenge you all to the greatest mission in history: come and play!” — Record quotes Ronaldo as saying.
