Cristiano Ronaldo to Continue with Portugal After 2026

Cristiano Ronaldo, the 41-year-old forward, has addressed his future with the Portugal National Team, confirming he will continue to represent his country despite previously stating that the 2026 FIFA World Cup would be his final appearance. Following Portugal's elimination from the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo considered retiring from international football but ultimately decided to stay, believing he can still contribute through his goals and experience.
He has been included in new head coach Jorge Jesus' first squad for the UEFA Nations League, indicating his international career will extend beyond the 2026 World Cup. While Ronaldo has not indicated plans to participate in the 2030 World Cup, he remains a topic of discussion as Portugal will co-host the tournament with Spain and Morocco, and he would be 45 at that time.
Former Portugal coach Roberto Martínez suggested fans should not completely rule out Ronaldo's participation in 2030, but Ronaldo himself has reiterated that 2026 is his final World Cup.
