Portugal has already booked their place in next year’s World Cup, meaning Cristiano Ronaldo is set to appear on football’s biggest stage for a record sixth time. However, doubts initially surfaced about his participation after receiving a red card against the Republic of Ireland during the qualifiers. The veteran forward was charged with serious foul play for violent conduct.

Ban Reduced, FIFA Shows Leniency

FIFA announced a three-match suspension for Ronaldo on Tuesday, but also confirmed that two of those matches are suspended, meaning they will only be enforced if he repeats a similar offense within the next 12 months.

Ronaldo has already served the first match of his suspension, sitting out Portugal’s emphatic 9–1 victory over Armenia, a win that officially secured their spot in the upcoming World Cup.

Incident Against Ireland Sparks Debate

The controversy began when Ronaldo was sent off for elbowing an Irish player, an action usually punished with a minimum three-match ban under FIFA rules. Still, the governing body opted for leniency, acknowledging the forward’s spotless disciplinary record.
