- Ronaldo must also pay €255, while the suspension is the minimum under rules allowing one to six months.
- The disciplinary committee considered Ronaldo’s remorse and willingness to accept punishment, expressed in his October 6 statement.
- The suspension began on the day of the Denmark match, so Ronaldo will complete it by the end of October.
I will be available, as I have always been until today, to compete and win for our national team.— Cristiano Ronaldo posted this on social media after walking out from the Portugal camp, stating he would be available to compete and win for Portugal; he emphasized he was not retiring from international duty.

- An independent FA commission imposed a six-week ban from all football activity but suspended it until the end of next season.
- Eckert received a £28,000 fine and reprimand; involvement in further spying before the end of next season would trigger the ban.
- Southampton were expelled from the Championship play-offs in May and given a four-point deduction this season after admitting the spying.
- Southampton welcomed the ruling, while owner Dragan Solak said the suspended sentence allows Eckert to remain in charge.
I firmly believe that Tonda is one of Europe's most exciting young coaches, and with this distraction removed, I am confident he can lead the team to a successful season.— Dragan Solak, Saints owner, said in a statement about Eckert's situation and the manager's future.
