Cristiano Ronaldo has made history once again after being set for a record-extending sixth appearance at the FIFA World Cup, further cementing his status as one of the most enduring figures in football.
The Portugal national football team has officially released its squad list for the FIFA World Cup 2026, and the veteran forward was included despite being 41 years old.
Ronaldo’s selection continues a remarkable international career that has defied age and expectations, as he remains a central figure in Portugal’s attack heading into another global tournament. His participation will make him the first male footballer in history to feature in six World Cup editions.
The squad also features several key stars, including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias, João Félix, Rafael Leão, and Gonçalo Ramos.
The announcement sets the stage for another landmark moment in Ronaldo’s career, as he already holds records for the most international appearances and goals in men’s football, and now prepares to extend his legacy on the World Cup stage once again.
