Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has hinted that the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup will likely be the Portugal captain's farewell tournament from international football. She described this tournament as his "last stand" with the national team. Speaking to reporters outside Toronto's BMO Field prior to Portugal's dramatic 2-1 victory over Croatia, Katia revealed she had received information from a reliable source indicating that the 41-year-old legend is nearing the end of his historic international career.
Clarifying that her comments specifically referred to his retirement from the national team—and not his goal of reaching 1,000 career goals—she urged fans to cherish the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's final moments on the international stage.
Following the victory over Croatia—where Ronaldo converted a penalty and Gonçalo Ramos scored the winner in stoppage time—Roberto Martínez's squad is now set to face Spain in the Round of 16, as the nation's all-time leading goalscorer moves closer to what could be his final World Cup campaign.
