Portugal: Date of Cristiano Ronaldo's Final Match Revealed
Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo has never been closer to ending his international career.
At 41, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is expected to officially announce his retirement from the Portuguese national team soon.
The Al-Nassr striker recently played in the sixth World Cup of his career. During the tournament, the Seleção captain netted three goals: a brace against Uzbekistan and a penalty against Croatia.
The final chapter with Portugal
According to American broadcaster NBC, the clash with Wales, scheduled for September 24 as part of the UEFA Nations League, is set to mark Cristiano Ronaldo's last appearance in a Portugal shirt. The match will take place at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.
However, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star is not expected to end his club career just yet. Under contract with Al-Nassr until June 30, 2027, he will continue his adventure in Saudi Arabia as stipulated in his agreement.
It should be noted that the Madeira native became the first player in World Cup history to score at least one goal in six different editions of the competition—a record that further cements his immense legacy in world football.
