Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a 30-day suspension and a £215 fine by the Portuguese Football Federation, as reported by BBC Sport, The Guardian, and The Independent. The 41-year-old learned of his punishment on Monday, according to The Independent.

The sanction follows his walkout from the Portugal squad, a decision that has drawn attention from several media outlets. ESPN, citing the same incident, reports the fine as $286, reflecting a different currency conversion.

Ronaldo will now serve the suspension, with the fine payable to the federation. The exact dates of the ban have not been specified in the reports.
