With over 500 million requests processed during those phases, primary availability is now at an all-time low.
Here's what you need to know at a glance:

What to expect from Portugal at the World Cup?
Though we can shut our eyes and put our fingers in our ears, we can’t block out the inevitable happening at some point over the next year or so. Cristiano Ronaldo will be retiring from the sport that has made him a legendary figure the world over.
Ronaldo, who amazingly made his Portuguese debut in 2003, once again set a sterling example for his teammates during the side’s successful World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign. He topped the team’s scoring chart, finding the back of the net on five occasions, which took his international career tally to 143 goals.
It's no surprise that Portugal’s rise-up the FIFA rankings has coincided with CR7 arriving on the international scene. Prior to them qualifying for Korea/Japan 2002, they had only taken part in two World Cups over a 70-year span. Portugal are now major players on the world scene, involved in every World Cup since 2002 and memorably finishing 4th in 2006.
