Cristiano Ronaldo has issued a new information regarding his retirement.

According to his Portugal teammate Vitinha, Cristiano Ronaldo will participate in the 2026

World Cup. At the age of 39, the Al-Nassr forward is currently in the latter stages of his career. It has been suggested that he may retire sooner rather than later.

However, it appears that he will be participating for the next year and a half, at least according to Portugal’s star player, Vitinha. The present playmaker for Paris Saint-Germain is certain that Ronaldo will be present at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Vitinha stated in an interview with the RMC podcast Rothen s’enflamme, “I have no explanation for this longevity; I am 39 years old and still serving as a starter for the national team.” He has already stated it, and I suspect that it is due to the professionalism he demonstrates in all of his endeavors.

Every single day of his professional life, whether it be in the morning or the evening, is remarkable. I can only fathom the sacrifices and efforts that he has made and must continue to make. Additionally, I suspect that this is the reason for his continued state of adversity at the age of 39. “However, it is a privilege for me.” Because we are children, we are small and aspire to play with him one day. And now, it is occurring. Mercifully, I have had the opportunity to appreciate the national team with him for an extended period of time… Certainly, he will be present at the 2026 World Cup; he is not willing to concede.
