Overview

  • Jorge Jesus was formalized as Portugal’s head coach and issued his first 25-man squad that includes Cristiano Ronaldo for the UEFA Nations League window.
  • The call-up covers fixtures against Wales, Norway and Denmark on 24 September, 27 September, 1 October and 4 October, with Portugal entering as the defending Nations League champion.
  • Friday’s squad shows modest change from the World Cup roster with five players dropped and several younger options added to blend experience and renewal.
  • At 41 and still Al Nassr’s forward, Ronaldo accepted the selection after saying the year could be his last and will use the matches to add to his international caps and career goal tally.
  • Reports place Ronaldo near 979 career goals, so these fixtures offer a clear chance to push toward the 1,000-goal landmark while Portugal begins a new coaching cycle.
