João Félix’s statement fuels excitement and anticipation for what could be Ronaldo’s most iconic moment in the sport. With the 2026 World Cup set to take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the stage is set for Ronaldo to pursue his dream and potentially end his career with the ultimate prize.
Aiming for a sixth World Cup appearance
If Ronaldo competes in the 2026 World Cup, he will set a record as the only player to participate in six World Cups. His dedication to fitness and performance at his age has kept him competitive at the highest levels of football.
Having already represented Portugal in five World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022), Ronaldo’s journey has been filled with unforgettable moments, including becoming the first male player to score in five consecutive tournaments. Despite Portugal’s early exit in Qatar 2022, Ronaldo’s determination to bring the World Cup home has not wavered.
