Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo could make history by playing in the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to former teammate Nani. The legendary forward, now 39, has reportedly begun preparations to extend his international career to a record-breaking seventh World Cup. “Will Cristiano play in the 2030 World Cup? I have NO doubts, he will!” Nani stated confidently, adding that Ronaldo plans to start a special diet to remain in top shape.

If Ronaldo competes, it will be a monumental moment for both the player and host nation Portugal. He already holds the record as the only player to score in five different World Cups. In his 22 World Cup matches so far, Ronaldo has netted eight goals and provided two assists. However, a surprising statistic looms over his illustrious career—he has yet to score or assist in a World Cup knockout match.
The 2030 tournament, co-hosted by Portugal, Spain, and Morocco, would offer Ronaldo a fitting stage to add to his legacy. Fans around the globe are eagerly watching as he inches closer to another milestone, one that could further cement his place in football history. Should Ronaldo take part, he would inspire not just his team but also the millions who follow his remarkable journey.
