Nani, a former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo, has shared his hopes for the Al-Nassr star to represent A Selecao das Quinas in the 2030 FIFA World Cup. On December 11, 2024, it was announced during a virtual FIFA Congress that Portugal, Spain, and Morocco will host this exciting tournament.
Cristiano Ronaldo stands as one of the greatest players in the history of football. The Portuguese legend holds the record as the highest international goalscorer in men's football, with an impressive tally of 135 goals and 45 assists in 215 appearances for Portugal. His vital contributions were pivotal in securing Portugal's triumph in Euro 2016 and the UEFA Nations League in 2019—marking the nation's only major international trophies to date.
Nani's wants Cristiano Ronaldo to have a new diet
"Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2030 World Cup? He's going to go on a new diet to be ready." Nani said.
“It is very important and a privilege to host the World Cup in our home country. It will be a fantastic FIFA World Cup, we have a lot of talent. We will have a very strong team and we hope that Cristiano Ronaldo will be there to score his goals." Nani added.
"It is fuelling the dream of all the young people in Portugal. When I was younger I had this dream, I really enjoyed our national team’s games. In your own country you feel it more." Nani said
At 39, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is proving he’s still at the top of his game with Al-Nassr. This season alone, he has already netted 16 goals and provided three assists in 19 matches across all competitions for the Knights of Najd. Ronaldo has blistered through his last five appearances for both club and country, scoring an impressive eight goals.
The 39-year-old has participated in five editions of the tournament—2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022—scoring eight goals in 22 appearances. While he has shown strong performance in the group stages, he has yet to find the net during the knockout rounds of this prestigious event.
