Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of football’s all-time greats, is currently training with the Portuguese national team for their upcoming international matches, including 2024 Euro Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Alongside his football pursuits, Ronaldo recently showcased his talents in another sport—basketball.
The 38-year-old, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, is eager to build on his remarkable tally of 123 international goals by contributing more to his national team. This season, he has already netted 11 goals for Saudi club Al-Nasr and aims to maintain his scoring form with Portugal.
During their preparations, the Portuguese team found time to enjoy a game of basketball, with a video of Ronaldo’s basketball skills circulating on social media, drawing applause from fans.
Although Portugal has secured victories in all their matches, early qualification for the Euro Cup hinges on a win against Slovakia and a Luxembourg loss to Iceland. Moreover, the United States, Canada, and Mexico have expressed their intention to jointly host the 2026 World Cup.
Despite approaching his 40s, Ronaldo is determined to extend his Al-Nassr contract until 2027 and continues to prove his worth in both football and basketball, emphasizing his enduring passion for the beautiful game.
