Martínez: Ronaldo Could Play at the 2030 World Cup, His Career Continues

Portugal head coach Roberto Martínez has not ruled out the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo featuring at the 2030 World Cup. Despite the Portuguese captain suggesting that the 2026 tournament may be his final major international outing, Martínez insists that the 45-year-old forward still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.

The coach highlighted that Ronaldo's extraordinary longevity stems not only from his physical fitness but also from a relentless competitive drive that continues to set him apart. With five World Cup appearances already under his belt, a potential seventh participation in 2030 would cement Ronaldo's legacy as one of the most enduring figures in international football history.
