In November 5, 2026, the football world received confirmation of the end of an extraordinary chapter when Ronaldo announced his retirement from international football.
At the age of 41, and after more than 23 years of representing Portugal, the legendary forward decided that the time had come to hand over the responsibility of wearing the famous national team number seven shirt.
His retirement brought an end to a journey that began in August 2003 and produced 234 appearances and 146 goals for Portugal. The announcement marked the conclusion of one of the most successful individual international careers in football history.
