Cristiano Ronaldo’s former teammate, Nani, has hinted that the football superstar could be eyeing a chance to play in the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which will be partly hosted in Portugal. Nani, while speaking about Ronaldo’s incredible commitment to fitness, jokingly mentioned that perhaps the legendary player is working on a “new diet” to prepare himself for the major tournament.
Ronaldo, who is currently 39 years old, would be 45 by the time the 2030 World Cup arrives. Despite his age, he continues to deliver exceptional performances both for his Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr, and for the Portugal national team. Known worldwide for his dedication to maintaining peak physical condition, Ronaldo has often stated that staying fit and competitive is a top priority for him. His remarkable career and athleticism have allowed him to outperform much younger players on the field.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup holds special significance for Ronaldo. He described the opportunity to compete in the tournament, which will include matches in his home country, as “a dream come true.” If he does make it to the tournament, Ronaldo would join the ranks of football greats who defied age to play on the world’s biggest stage. Notably, Egypt’s Essam El-Hadary set a similar record when he appeared in the World Cup at the age of 45, becoming the oldest player to feature in the tournament.
Ronaldo’s unwavering determination, coupled with his exceptional fitness and passion for the sport, continues to inspire millions of fans around the world. For many, the thought of seeing the football icon play in the 2030 World Cup is an exciting possibility and a testament to his legendary status in the world of football. If anyone can challenge the limits of age and make history once again, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
