FIFA Suspension

The Portuguese Football Federation is set to file a complaint with FIFA to challenge the length of Cristiano Ronaldo's suspension after his red card in Portugal's 2-0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland. Ronaldo was sent off for swinging an elbow at defender Dara O'Shea, initially receiving a yellow before a VAR review prompted the referee to upgrade it to red. The incident could lead to a ban extending into the World Cup, but Portugal aims to limit it to one match.
