Portugal's Ronaldo set for record sixth World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play in a record sixth World Cup after being selected in Portugal's squad.

The 41-year-old forward, who holds the men's record for all-time international appearances (226) and goals (143), is one of six players to have played in five World Cups.

That group includes his former La Liga rival Lionel Messi, who is also set to play in his sixth World Cup after leading Argentina to victory four years ago in Qatar.

Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has been playing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr since January 2023.

He is eligible for all of Portugal's group games having avoided a three-match ban after being sent off in their penultimate World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in November.

Portugal have friendlies against Chile and Nigeria before their World Cup opener against DR Congo in Houston on 17 June.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held from the 11th of June to the 19th of July.
