Bruno Fernandes Aims for Ronaldo's World Cup Finale
Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes hopes to help Cristiano Ronaldo win the 2026 World Cup, marking a historic final chapter in Ronaldo's international career. The 41-year-old Ronaldo will aim for a record sixth World Cup appearance, as Portugal starts its campaign against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese midfielder, has expressed his ambition to help Cristiano Ronaldo cap his international career with a World Cup victory in 2026. Fernandes conveyed this sentiment to Wayne Rooney in a BBC interview released on Friday.
This tournament is expected to be Ronaldo's final bow on the world stage, entering his record sixth World Cup. At 41, Ronaldo remains without a World Cup triumph, despite achieving numerous accolades, including the Euro 2016 victory and two Nations League titles.
Portugal's campaign will commence with a Group K match against the Democratic Republic of Congo on June 17. Matches against Uzbekistan and Colombia follow, with the tournament spanning from June 11 to July 19 in North America.
