Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible journey with Portugal could soon come to an end.

Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has revealed that the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to be the final tournament of his international career.

"My information is that this will be his last dance," she said before Portugal's latest World Cup match.

If the reports are correct, football fans are watching the final chapter of one of the greatest international careers the sport has ever seen.

Every time he steps onto the pitch wearing Portugal's shirt, fans know they could be watching him for the final time.

Whether you support Portugal or not, Ronaldo's international career has left a mark that will never be forgotten. His records may one day be broken, but his passion, leadership and relentless desire to improve will remain part of football history forever.

According to SportTV, the farewell is getting closer. If this truly is Cristiano Ronaldo's last World Cup, then football is preparing to say goodbye to one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.
