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

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

In a week packed with confirmations regarding the official squads for the 2026 World Cup, it is 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 to claim the record of having found the net in every edition. The Bug, now at Al Nassr, wants to keep making history with his country.

The unusual feature of the squad is that Martínez included four goalkeepers. It is assumed that the player 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 backup.

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