Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will play his last World Cup next summer. The 40-year-old Portuguese answered this question in a video link at an event in Riyadh. "I'll be 41 years old then and I think that will be the moment," said the five-time world footballer, who is still under contract with Saudi club Al-Nassr until 2027. Overall, he may want to retire in a year or two. The World Cup will take place next year in Canada, Mexico and the USA.
Born on the island of Madeira, Portugal's record player and goalscorer was trained at Sporting Lisbon and has played in five World Cup finals since 2002. Ronaldo won the 2016 European Championship with the Portuguese national team and the Champions League a total of five times with Manchester United and Real Madrid. With a win in Ireland on Thursday, Portugal will be guaranteed qualification for next year's World Cup.
