Sporting Clube de Portugal, also referred to as Sporting CP or Sporting Lisbon, is a Portuguese sports club based in Lisbon. Interestingly, not many players are familiar that Ronaldo started his career with Sporting CP. He has played 31 matches and scored 5 goals during his time with the club.

Not to mention, Ronaldo’s amazing performances for Sporting Lisbon gathered Sir Alex Ferguson’s attention to him. Ferguson was determined to sign Ronaldo after his impressive performance for the club in a friendly against United in August 2003.

He signed him from Sporting Lisbon for a €19 million fee. Nevertheless, Sporting CP played a prominent role in Ronaldo’s immense career. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the media has linked the mercurial Portuguese to his roots.
