On September 22, AC Milan’s official Twitter account posted an update wishing “The Alien” Ronaldo a happy birthday. This post once again sparked heated discussions about whether Ronaldo’s birthday is actually on September 18 or September 22.
According to James Mosley, the author of Ronaldo’s autobiography Ronaldo: A Journey of Genius, Ronaldo’s birthday is undoubtedly September 18. However, due to Brazil’s poor management of birth registration at the time, his parents did not register him until four days later, which was September 22. Even more absurdly, if Ronaldo’s family had chosen to correct the date back to the actual one, they would have had to pay a fine, so the matter was left as it was.
Ronaldo’s Wikipedia page opts for the September 18 date.
