The United States, Canada and Mexico will be sharing hosting duties in 2026, with it possible that Ronaldo will make it to that tournament. He is preparing to turn 40, but would appear to still have plenty left in the tank as he continues to star for club and country.

International colleague Felix, who is now at Premier League side Chelsea, has told TNT Sports of Al-Nassr superstar Ronaldo taking in another shot at landing an elusive trophy: “Yes, I think so and everything indicates that he will. He dreams of winning the World Cup, we will do everything we can to give him that prize. I think it is the only one he is missing.

Ronaldo’s best result at a World Cup was enjoyed at his first, when Portugal finished in fourth place. He has seen eternal rival Lionel Messi add that title to his collection, making European Championship winner CR7 even more determined to savour a success of his own.

João Félix, Ronaldo’s teammate on the Portuguese national team, shared his confidence in Ronaldo’s ambition during an interview with TNT Sports. “Cristiano Ronaldo dreams of winning the World Cup, and we’ll do everything to make it happen for him. I believe he will be there in 2026,” said Félix.

The legendary forward, often referred to as “El Bicho,” has already cemented his place in football history, but the World Cup remains the one accolade missing from his illustrious career

If Ronaldo competes in the 2026 World Cup, he will set a record as the only player to participate in six World Cups. His dedication to fitness and performance at his age has kept him competitive at the highest levels of football.

Having already represented Portugal in five World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022), Ronaldo’s journey has been filled with unforgettable moments, including becoming the first male player to score in five consecutive tournaments. Despite Portugal’s early exit in Qatar 2022Ronaldo’s determination to bring the World Cup home has not wavered.
