Portugal name 2026 World Cup squad: Ronaldo set for sixth finals | OneFootball

Roberto Martínez named 27 players for the World Cup and has just over 10 days to leave one out. Their debut will be on June 17 against DR Congo.

In a week full of confirmations regarding the final squads for the 2026 World Cup, it was now Portugal’s turn. Roberto Martínez announced a 27-man squad for the tournament in the United States, knowing that he will have to leave one of them out in the final cut.

Of course, the list is headed by Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play in his sixth World Cup (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026) and will try to score in order to earn the record of having found the net in every edition. The star, now at Al Nassr, wants to keep making history with his country.

The notable detail in the squad is that Martínez included four goalkeepers. It is presumed that the player to be left out will come from that group. The chosen ones are Diogo Costa, José Sá, Rui Silva and Ricardo Velho, although everything seems to indicate that the latter will remain as a reserve.

The list also features big names such as Joao Cancelo, Rúben Dias, Rúben Neves, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto and Goncalo Ramos.
