The Story in Brief
Former Manchester United teammate Eric Djemba-Djemba believes Cristiano Ronaldo could play the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. Ronaldo, who will be 45 in 2030, had indicated the 2026 tournament would be his last but has not made an official decision. Djemba-Djemba told BetVictor that Ronaldo is 'obsessed with improving himself' and could continue until he is 44 or 45.
The 2030 World Cup is co-hosted by Portugal, Morocco and Spain, offering a potential fairytale ending for the Portugal captain. Ronaldo scored 35 goals for Al Nassr in the 2025-26 season and netted three times at the 2026 World Cup. His son is currently in Al Nassr's academy and could break into the first team soon.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative around Ronaldo's potential father-son World Cup appearance feeds into his legend but ignores the brutal physical toll. At 45, even his extraordinary discipline may not suffice against younger defenders. His son, still in the academy, is years away from senior international level. A more realistic test: can Ronaldo stay among the top scorers in Europe's top leagues until 2029?
