Cristiano Ronaldo Retires From Portugal After 23-Year International Career
Ronaldo ends a 23-year international career with Portugal after 234 appearances and 146 goals, saying it is time to pass the baton.
- On Nov 5, Cristiano Ronaldo retired from international football for Portugal, officially ending his 23-year career with the national team.
- Throughout his career, Ronaldo played 234 games for Portugal, scoring 146 goals and winning the 2016 European Championship and UEFA Nations League titles in 2018/19 and 2024/25.
- The retirement follows an 'explosive falling-out' with new manager Jorge Jesus, which ended with Ronaldo abandoning the camp during the most recent international break in September and October.
- "A journey comes to an end that began in 2003 and changed my life forever," Ronaldo said, reflecting on immigrants who felt Portugal closer during his 90-minute performances.
- Ronaldo hopes to pass the baton to his son, 16-year-old Cristiano Junior, who has been called up for Portugal's Under-17s this week.
