Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains firmly in the world’s spotlight after he confirmed on CNN with Becky Anderson and echoed across CBS News and Hindustan Times that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will definitely be his last. Ronaldo said he is “really enjoying the moment” and emphasized he still feels sharp at 40, but conceded that “in one, two years” he’ll finish his professional journey, drawing “the final major chapter” of one of football’s greatest living legends. For biographical history, this marks the most explicit retirement statement he has made, as he prepares for what would be a record sixth World Cup, pending Portugal’s qualification. In his remarks at the Tourism Summit in Riyadh, he stated, “Definitely, yes. I will be 41 years old and I think this will be the moment in the big competition,” and he also teased his openness to support the sport and develop football in both Portugal and Saudi Arabia after retirement, underscoring his lasting influence on the global game.
Current business affairs see Ronaldo still based in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, where he continues his quest for the almost mythic individual milestone of 1000 career goals—his 953rd was scored just a few days ago according to World Soccer Talk, and he marked the moment on social media with an inspiring four-word message: “Stay focused. Stay humble.” This goal chase remains one of the most closely tracked sports stories worldwide, and would cement his legacy even further. Social media buzzed as well for personal reasons: Ronaldo shared birthday wishes to his daughter Alana Martina as she turned eight, offering a rare personal moment that resonated across Instagram and Twitter, with fans celebrating both his on-field achievements and dedication as a father—Sportskeeda picked up on the widespread reactions.
Headlines in recent days focus nearly exclusively on his 2026 World Cup announcement, with outlets such as ABS-CBN, GBC Ghana, and Agence France-Presse repeating his “definitely my last World Cup” promise, amplifying both sporting and mainstream coverage. There have been no credible reports of new endorsement deals, controversies, or significant business activities in the last week—his brand remains rock steady as sponsors and markets prepare for what will likely be a global farewell tour.
Speculation about a possible “farewell match” or legacy project is swirling in some fan circles, but nothing has been confirmed by either Ronaldo or his representatives. For now, attention is locked on his path to 1000 goals, Portugal’s World Cup qualification, and the legacy of a footballer whose next moves remain headline news worldwide.
