Portugal have announced a change to the No.7 style on their shirts.
It is a tribute to the Cristiano Ronaldo era.
Ronaldo announced his retirement from international football this month.
As a way to honour his legacy, the Portugal Football Federation, FPF, has decided to "have a different number 7" on their kits moving forward.
A statement from FPF, read: “This is as another way to eternalize the meaning of such a special number and honour the legacy it represents for us.
“Because there are stories, memories, all achievements and emotions, which will forever be linked to Cristiano Ronaldo.
“From today we will thus have a different number 7 on the sweater, with same essence and the same pride, reserving the previous one for the eternalisation of the story that will never be forgotten. Thank you Cristiano!”
