Young cheerleader Addison Whelan, who ran onto the field after the 2022 World Cup qualifier between Ireland and Portugal (0: 0), announced on FM104 that her family would have to pay three thousand euros as a fine.
The girl said that she jumped over the fence in order to meet with the attacker of the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, but the guards grabbed her. “I called out his name. He turned, saw me and asked me to let go. I burst into tears and asked for his T-shirt. And he asked: “Are you okay?” – described the meeting with the football player Whelan.
As a result, the cheerleader’s family was fined three thousand euros for the child’s illegal actions. However, according to ESPN, the decision was reviewed in favor of the girl’s family.
