Correction: May 20, 2019

Last week multiple news organizations and a certain Nigerian charity reported unconfirmed news that high-profile footballer Cristiano Ronaldo had donated "$1.5 million" to Gaza. teleSUR English ran the story without the proper confirmation from an official source and a fact checker revealed the news to be unfounded. 

On Monday, Ronaldo's management agency Gestifute affirmed that the story is false. 

Disclaimer: This story has been changed and corrected in order to reflect the lack of confirmation about the alleged donation by the footballer to Gaza. teleSUR reached out to Ronaldo's management agency Gestifute for a comment. The story has been updated with Gestifute's response that the claim is false.
