Cristiano Ronaldo says 2026 World Cup 'definitely' his last

  • On 11/11/2025, Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be his last, speaking via video link at a Saudi-hosted global summit.
  • Cristiano Ronaldo said he plans to retire in one or two years to spend more time with his family and will be age 41 at the World Cup.
  • With more than 950 career goals, Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal captain, is the all-time leading international scorer with 143 goals and a five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
  • Portugal need just two points against Ireland on Thursday to qualify for next year's World Cup, and a win in Dublin on Nov 13 would secure Group F leaders' ticket and give Ronaldo a chance to add to his five qualifying goals.
  • Amid a new Al-Nassr contract through 2027, Ronaldo targets the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the only major title missing, before retiring and closing a 25-year career.
