Let’s set the record straight, Ronaldo Jr. born in 2010 and the eldest son of Cristiano Ronaldo, is only 14 years old right now. He’s currently playing under contract with Al-Nasser Academy in Saudi Arabia. So far, there hasn’t been any official confirmation from Ronaldo, any franchise, or any team about his inclusion in the 2026 World Cup.

In short, the idea that Cristiano Ronaldo will play the World Cup alongside his son is simply not on the cards. Ronaldo Jr. is too young at this point and needs more time before he can participate in such a major event. On the other hand, many are saying that Cristiano Ronaldo himself will be part of the 2026 squad. And, let’s be honest, it’s hard to imagine his team playing without him—his presence is a key part of their strength.

In fact, Portuguese manager Fernando Santos has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be part of Portugal’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as he’s considered one of the best players in the world. This also highlights that while Ronaldo Jr. won’t be joining his father on the pitch at the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo remains an indispensable asset to his team. Moreover, it’s clear that Ronaldo is participating in the 2026 World Cup either, nor is it expected that he will ever play alongside his son.
