Cristiano Ronaldo was voted “Talent that Marks the World” in a poll of the League’s Ambassadors, which highlights the players and coaches whose talent sparked off in Professional Football and who are currently shining.
«I thank Liga Portugal for this distinction, which greatly honors me and makes me proud. This award, however, would not be possible without the help of my teammates, whom I also thank and with whom I share this trophy», said the Portuguese goalscorer.
The Executive Director of the League, Tiago Madureira highlighted that the objective of this new monthly distinction is to promote one of the greatest assets of our League, which is the endless history of talent that has marked our competitions over time. Since 2015, we have taken on the unequaled capacity of Portuguese football, its competitions and, above all, our clubs to create, shape and export Talent as the main positioning value of the Portugal League. This talent does not cease to be relevant when athletes, coaches or even managers are no longer part of our competitions. On the contrary, this entire global recognition footprint connected with Liga Portugal must be valued and promoted, as we believe that this is the greatest distinguishing factor of our competitions and the differentiating anchor of our brand’s internationalization process. The success, anywhere in the world, of each of these elements should be a source of pride for us, as all of them are also the true Ambassadors of Liga Portugal. Not having been intentional, it is more than appropriate that the first prizewinner is the one who is the greatest exponent of our Football Talent and the greatest promoter of Portugal’s name across the globe.”
