“Travel with us back in time to 2003”, offers Sporting Portugal. The Lisbon club unveiled its third jersey for the coming season on August 6, 2023. It pays homage to the same date twenty years earlier: Sporting inaugurated its new José Alvalade stadium with a match against Manchester United. A meeting organized as part of the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to the English club.
“We recovered the best of that day, the best of these 20 years and the best of what is” made in Sporting “”, continues the green and white club. On the jersey, we can therefore see the logo “CR7”, a brand derived from Nike, which replaces that of the American equipment manufacturer. “A virtuous triangle between Sporting CP, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nike”, welcomes Sporting Portugal.
Quintuple Ballon d’Or, Ronaldo joined Sporting in 1997, at the age of 12, from his native island of Madeira. He played 31 matches for 5 professional goals there before moving to Manchester United, then continuing his career at Real Madrid, Juventus and now Al-Nassr, Saudi Arabia.
