Cristiano Ronaldo included in Portugal's World Cup roster
Summary

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named in Portugal's 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup. The tournament, set to take place in North America this summer, will mark Ronaldo's sixth World Cup appearance. At 41 years old, he has faced injuries but remains a key figure for Portugal. His presence is seen as a motivating factor for the team, which aims to advance from Group K, where they are joined by DR Congo, Uzbekistan, and Colombia. Ronaldo's legacy includes winning nearly every major trophy, but the World Cup has thus far eluded him.
