The end is near for Cristiano Ronaldo. At 40 years old, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner knows his playing days are numbered. Before retiring, he hopes to compete for the World Cup with Portugal in 2026, marking his last World Cup with the Seleçao.
During a video conference at a tourism forum in Riyadh, the Al Nassr player stated that this will be his seventh and final participation in the World Cup with Portugal. “Yes, for sure, I will be 41 years old, and I think it will be the right time,” he revealed, reaffirming that he plans to end his football career soon. Let’s be honest; when I say soon, it likely means another year or two.” To compete in the American World Cup, Portugal must first secure their spot this Thursday against Ireland.
