CNN —Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play in his 11th international tournament for Portugal later this year, after the 39-year-old was named in his nation’s squad for Euro 2024.
It seemed as though Ronaldo might have made his last appearance in a major international tournament at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ronaldo made his first tournament appearance for Portugal at Euro 2004.
