Cristiano Ronaldo's hometown of Madeira honoured the island's favourite son by naming their international airport after the Portugal captain and Real Madrid star.
Miguel Albuquerque, president of the Regional Government, made the announcement on Friday following Portugal's triumph at Euro 2016, with the Santa Catarina Airport in Funchal to be renamed the Cristiano Ronaldo Airport.
The announcement came on the same day former Manchester United forward and three-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo opened his own hotel in the city.
"The first Pestana CR7 had to be in Funchal - my city that also is considered the best island by the World Travel Awards," he said.
"It is a great pride for me - the opening of this my first hotel. It marks my entrance into a completely new area. This new project is going to be a huge success in the four corners of the world."
