Portugal head coach Roberto Martínez has named his squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026. At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo heads to his sixth World Cup as a generation fresh from winning the Nations League aims for the title. Beyond the 26 registered players, Martínez framed the late Diogo Jota — who died in an accident last year — as a symbolic "+1", saying the team carries his "strength and joy."
Below is every one of the 26 players, grouped by position, with the main talking points. Each card links to the player's profile page.
Portugal's midfield depth is outstanding — Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, Bernardo Silva and João Neves all combine passing and drive. Up front, the question is how to blend Ronaldo with the pace of Rafael Leão and Pedro Neto and the creativity of João Félix. With a defence anchored by Rúben Dias, this is a squad with genuine title credentials.
Diogo Costa is the first-choice goalkeeper.
Rúben Dias leads the back line, reading the game and anchoring the defence.
Bruno Fernandes is the midfield engine, driving the team with creativity and goal threat.
Vitinha controls the tempo and dictates the rhythm in midfield.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains the attacking talisman, still a presence in front of goal.
Rafael Leão makes the difference with his drive from the left.

Roberto Martínez.
Martínez said he will keep "the same role as the last three years, handled very naturally," trusting his exemplary captain who helped win the Nations League. It will be Ronaldo's sixth World Cup.
Beyond the 26 registered players, it is a symbolic tribute to Diogo Jota, who died in an accident in Spain about a year ago.
