Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to retire from international football after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to his sister, Katia Aveiro.
Katia reportedly indicated that the tournament would mark the end of Ronaldo's long and historic journey with the Portugal national team.
Ronaldo, who has represented Portugal for more than two decades, has built one of the most remarkable international careers in football history, winning major honours and setting several goalscoring and appearance records.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner captained Portugal to victory at the 2016 European Championship and the 2019 UEFA Nations League, cementing his status as one of the country's greatest-ever footballers.
The 2026 World Cup is widely expected to be Ronaldo's final appearance at football's biggest international tournament.
Although Ronaldo himself has not formally announced a specific retirement date, his sister's comments have renewed discussions about the approaching end of an extraordinary era for Portuguese football.
