This Sporting Clube de Portugal 2002/03 Home jersey marks the very beginning of a modern football legend. That season, Sporting finished third in the Primeira Liga and famously won the Taça de Portugal, completing a domestic double of league cup success the year prior and reaffirming their reputation as one of Europe’s elite talent factories. The shirt is for Cristiano Ronaldo (28), worn during his breakthrough season as a teenager—where his explosive pace, confidence, and flair caught the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson, directly leading to his transfer to Manchester United in 2003.
Finished with the classic Reebok manufacturer detailing, bold hooped design, PT (Portugal Telecom) sponsor, official Liga Portuguesa sleeve patch, and the Portuguese flag badge, this jersey is a true origin-story piece—an essential chapter in the rise of Cristiano Ronaldo.
