At 40, Cristiano Ronaldo is still making headlines! 🇵🇹 The football legend joined Portugal’s national squad for their first training session ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, held at their Cidade do Futebol base near Lisbon. The mood was bittersweet as the team regrouped after the tragic loss of teammate Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash in Spain earlier this month alongside his brother André Silva.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, showed no signs of slowing down as he prepped for critical matches against Armenia (September 6) and Hungary (September 9). With the 2026 World Cup set to span the USA, Canada, and Mexico, Portugal’s Nations League champions are eyeing another shot at glory. 🏆
Fans worldwide are buzzing to see if CR7’s leadership can steer Portugal through these qualifiers. Will this be his final World Cup campaign? Only time—and goals—will tell! ⚡
