Ronaldo Confirms 2026 Will Be His Final World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo has settled months of speculation by announcing that the 2026 World Cup in North America will be his last major international tournament. During a recent press conference, the 41-year-old Portugal captain stated: “Yes, this is my last World Cup. Let’s go and enjoy it.” This clear declaration ends debate about whether he would target a seventh appearance in 2030. Now appearing in a record sixth World Cup, Ronaldo has scored three goals so far and helped Portugal reach the Round of 16. He remains on course to hit 1,000 career goals and is expected to continue playing at club level beyond 2026.
