Red card jeopardized the World Cup, FIFA makes decision on Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo will be present at Portugal's opening match at the 2026 World Cup.

FIFA has decided to suspend the Portuguese player for only one match, a punishment that has been served.

The 40-year-old striker was sent off in the match against Ireland after an elbow to the opponent.

Initially, there was a risk that he would be punished with up to a three-match suspension.

However, FIFA decided to only punish him with one match. This punishment has already been served in Portugal's last match against Armenia.

As a result, Ronaldo is available for Portugal's first matches at the 2026 World Cup.

This will be the sixth world championship in his career.
