Portugal roster for 2026 UEFA Nations League: Cristiano Ronaldo expected to be called in for fall matches
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the rear view mirror, Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal begin the 2030 cycle with four UEFA Nations League group stage matches.
Portugal's 2026 UEFA Nations League roster is expected to be announced on September 18, with the expectation that Cristiano Ronaldo will be included in the national team. Ronaldo, who confirmed that the 2026 FIFA World Cup would be his last, has not fully retired from international duty and is highly likely to be called up for the fall matches.
Portugal will face Wales, Denmark, and Norway in group stage matches from September to October, with only the top team advancing to the semifinals. Ronaldo's inclusion in the squad highlights the competitive nature of European clubs' national team selections, as opposed to friendlies where younger players and fringe prospects often take priority.
