Cristiano Ronaldo Included in Portugal's Nations League Squad by New Coach Jorge JesusPreviousNext

Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, has been named in Portugal's squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches by new head coach Jorge Jesus. Although Ronaldo indicated the 2026 World Cup would be his last, he has not officially retired from international football. Jesus, who previously coached Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, emphasized that selection will depend on performance, not reputation. Ronaldo remains the leading men's international goalscorer with 146 goals and is nearing 1,000 career goals across club and country.
