Ronaldo has millions of fans worldwide, admired for his discipline, determination and remarkable career achievements. Sweeney, one of Hollywood’s most talked-about young stars, recently shared that she is among those inspired by the football icon.
The American actress and producer gained global recognition through her Emmy-nominated roles as Cassie Howard in the hit series Euphoria and Olivia Mossbacher in The White Lotus. Known for her versatility and strong screen presence, Sweeney has become a prominent name in the entertainment industry.
Despite her busy acting career, Sweeney has also shown a quiet passion for football. She has previously expressed support for Italian club Inter Milan, although she has not publicly backed a specific team in Major League Soccer in the United States.
In American football, however, her loyalty is clearer. The actress is known to support the Philadelphia Eagles in the National Football League.
Sweeney’s interest in football also extends to Europe. During a recent visit to Lisbon, she attended a match at José Alvalade Stadium where Sporting CP defeated Estoril Praia 3-1.
Videos circulating on social media showed Sweeney enjoying the visit, juggling a football on the pitch and interacting with Sporting’s mascot, the lion Jubas.
Speaking during the visit, Sweeney highlighted Ronaldo as the player who inspired her the most.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is my favourite footballer,” she said. “I’m a competitive person, and if I were a footballer, he would be my inspiration.”
