While Cristiano Ronaldo has not explicitly stated his intentions for the 2026 World Cup, his recent performance and comments suggest he might be considering playing.
He has maintained a high level of fitness and continues to perform well at the club level.
He has expressed a desire to continue playing at the highest level for several more years.
At 38 years old, he would be 41 at the time of the 2026 World Cup, which would make him one of the oldest players to compete in the tournament.
However, his commitment to Portugal and his love for the game could motivate him to play.
Ultimately, his decision will likely depend on his physical condition and his desire to represent his country at the highest level.
