The summer of 2026 will bring the World Cup that marks the final chapter in the legendary career of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Details: Speaking at the TOURISE tourism forum in Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese superstar confirmed that the upcoming World Cup will be his last.
Quote: “Of course it’s true, because I’ll be 41 years old, and in these big competitions... I don’t know. As I’ve said before, I’m enjoying the moment,” said Ronaldo.
When asked about his plans for retirement in general, Ronaldo laughed it off, saying it would happen “in ten years.”
Quote: “That (in ten years) means ‘soon’ for me. People think that when I say I’ll retire soon, it means in six months or a year. I’m joking,” Ronaldo added.
Reminder: Cristiano Ronaldo previously gave an in-depth interview to journalist Piers Morgan. The two-part conversation featured numerous stories and several bold, controversial statements. The Dailysports team gathered all of Ronaldo’s most debated quotes from that interview.
