Ronaldo captained Portugal in their UEFA European Championships qualifier against Iceland in what was his 200th international appearance, making him the first men’s player in international football history to reach the milestone. 

The Al-Hilal forward has kept his place in the national team despite moving to the Saudi Arabian league and could still be part of the Portugal team for Euro 2024, where he will be 39 years old. 

Ronaldo continues incredible international record

The now-38-year-old forward debuted for Portugal in an international friendly against Kazakhstan, where he played one half while being only 18 years old.

He also won the 2016 Euros with Portugal, the first major trophy in the country’s history, as well as the UEFA Nations League trophy soon after.
