In what will be his final World Cup, a 41-year-old Ronaldo will make his way to North America this summer to represent his country once more.
The Al-Nassr forward has featured in the 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022 and now the 2026 tournament. This makes it his sixth World Cup in what is an incredible achievement.
Drawn alongside Colombia, Uzbekistan and DR Congo, it would be almost unthinkable for Portugal to not progress from Group K in what looks like a simple group.
Ronaldo joins up with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Vitinha, Ruben Dias and teammate Joao Felix in a Portugal squad that is packed full of world class talent.
Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez has been in charge of the national team since he took over in January 2023 and he will have been happy to see the first team regulars relatively injury free heading into his team selection.
The squad announcement also gave a nod to Diogo Jota who passed away last year, with his name as part of the team but greyed out.
