Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of playing in his sixth World Cup. CR7 will be 41 years old when the 2026 World Cup takes place. The Al Nassr striker isn't worried about hanging up his boots. Ronaldo believes that's a long way off.

The former Real Madrid striker was asked about his future in football. CR7 is 40 years old, but he remains a regular in the Portuguese national team. Despite this, Ronaldo believes his last World Cup will be in 2026.

“Sure, it's true because I'll be 41, and I think in this great competition, I don't know… As I said, I'm enjoying this moment,” said Cristiano Ronaldo in an interview at the Tourise tourism forum in Saudi Arabia.

However, CR7 hinted that his retirement from the World Cup doesn't reflect his performances at club level. Cristiano Ronaldo extended the timeframe for his already anticipated retirement.

“This (in ten years) means soon for me. People think that when I talk about retiring soon, it means in six months or a year. I'm just kidding!” added the Portuguese striker.

As you know, I'm 40 years old, and I try to enjoy the moment and keep going. My body is in good shape, I think. As for my performance with the national team, I score goals and help the team. I want to win titles. This is my life,” he added. To date, Cristiano Ronaldo has 953 official goals. The countdown being followed by all sports media outlets has set the target of 1,000 goals for CR7. This goal could be reached at the 2026 World Cup with the Portuguese national team.
