Portugal confirm Euro 2024 squad as Cristiano Ronaldo leads star-studded team

Ronaldo is set to play at his sixth Euros, 20 years on from making his debut at the tournament

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play at a sixth European Championship after the 39-year-old was included in Portugal’s squad for Euro 2024.

It means Ronaldo will play at the Euros 20 years on from his tournament debut at Euro 2004, and have the chance to add to his record 14 goals at the championships.

The Al-Nassr forward joins a star-studded squad named by Roberto Martinez, with Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao, Diogo Jota, Joao Felix and Goncalo Ramos all offering considerable attacking firepower.

Portugal won the Euros for the first time in 2016 and will be favourites to qualify as winners of Group F, with Turkey, Czech Republic and Georgia their opponents in Germany.

Veteran defender Pepe, meanwhile, is also included and is set to play at the European Championships at the age of 41.
