Cristiano Ronaldo wins Fifa World Player of the Year award

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on the 5th of February 1985 in Funchal, Madeira Island.
His first club was Andorinha and he didn’t have to play much to be noticed. Since he was a little boy all he wanted was to play football, indeed he spent much of his childhood doing precisely that.

In 1995 he began his career as a youth player for the CD Nacional club. In his first season he already started feeling confidant, winning his first award as footballer. His successes with the team led to a move to Lisbon to play for the Sporting Club of Portugal. In 2002, when he was 17 years of age, he scored 3 goals for Sporting and at this point he was already considered their best player.

After the construction of the new Sporting stadium Alvalade XXI, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the new field with a match against Manchester United winning 3-1, which caught the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson Manchester United’s manager, who signed him up in 2003.

Today Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team with one of the hottest talents in the world. He has won many awards and has many achievements in his career.
