Cristiano Ronaldo is set to earn his 234th cap for Portugal in a Nations League match against Wales on September 24, 2026. The forward has confirmed his intention to continue his international career under manager Jorge Jesus, despite previously identifying the 2026 World Cup as his final tournament.
Ronaldo has established a personal target of reaching 1,000 career goals, currently requiring 21 more to achieve the milestone. Beyond this individual objective, he has stated that winning a third Nations League title remains one of his primary ambitions.
The current Portugal squad features several younger players, including Fabio Silva, Renato Veiga, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, and Francisco Conceicao.
Viewers in the UK can watch the match via BBC One Wales or stream it on BBC iPlayer. Audio coverage is available through BBC Sounds, BBC Radio Wales, Radio Cymru, and 5 Live.
