Ronaldo Retained as Jorge Jesus Names First Portugal Squad
Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in Portugal’s squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches, marking Jorge Jesus’ first selection as national team coach. The 41-year-old captain has said the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be his final appearance at the tournament, but he has not confirmed when he will retire from international football. He would be 43 by the 2028 European Championship. Jesus took charge after Roberto Martinez left following Portugal’s 1-0 World Cup round-of-16 defeat to Spain. Portugal will face Wales at home on September 24, followed by away matches against Norway and Denmark before hosting Norway on October 4.
