2026 World Cup: Cristiano Ronaldo aims for absolute record, scoring in six World Cups

At age 41, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play his sixth World Cup with Portugal, starting on June 17, 2026, against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Houston. One goal would make him the only player in history to score in six different World Cup editions. He already holds the record as the first male player to score in five consecutive World Cups (2006-2022). Ronaldo has confirmed this will be his last World Cup with the national team.
