Cristiano Ronaldo Selected for Portugal's Nations League Squad
Cristiano Ronaldo has been called up to represent the Portugal National Team for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures by new head coach Jorge Jesus. This decision alleviates any immediate uncertainty regarding Ronaldo's international future.
At 41 years old, Ronaldo remains Portugal's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player, providing invaluable experience as the team prepares for the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaign. Portugal will begin their campaign on September 24, hosting Wales, followed by matches against Norway on September 27 and Denmark on October 1.
They will also face Norway again on October 4, with the final two group-stage matches scheduled for November against Denmark on November 14 and Wales on November 17. Ronaldo's inclusion in the squad adds continuity as Jorge Jesus starts his tenure, marking his first competitive fixtures in charge of the national team.
