Cristiano Ronaldo to retire at former club’s stadium
The international future of Cristiano Ronaldo has been thrown into fresh doubt after new claims suggested he could retire from Portugal following one final appearance for the country. According to journalist Mohamed Awaad, a Portuguese football business agent believes Ronaldo is planning to retire from international football after Portugal’s UEFA Nations League fixture against Wales. The match is reportedly set to take place at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, the home of Sporting CP, where Ronaldo first announced himself to the football world in 2003. The 41-year-old former Manchester United star confirmed after Portugal’s 2026 World Cup exit that it had been his final World Cup, but had not yet decided to retire from international football. There has been no official confirmation from Ronaldo or the Portuguese Football Federation regarding these claims, which remain speculation.
