Roberto Martínez announced Portugal’s 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup this Tuesday, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the way at 41 years old, in what will be his sixth and final World Cup finals.

Alongside Ronaldo, the list includes names such as Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Vitinha, João Neves, Rafael Leão and Rúben Dias, making up one of the strongest teams in the world. 

Names such as João Palhinha, Rodrigo Mora, Ricardo Horta and Pedro Gonçalves were left out, and there are four goalkeepers. According to Martínez, Ricardo Velho is the fourth-choice goalkeeper. He explained that although Ricardo Velho will not be on the bench, he will be used in training. 

Martínez also revealed that the “+1” on the list is a tribute to Diogo Jota, who died last year in an accident.
