Cristiano Ronaldo has announced the end of his international career with Portugal, according to reports on Thursday. The Portuguese Football Federation is planning a tribute to honor the record-breaking forward's contributions to the national team.

A file photo from the 2026 FIFA World Cup shows Ronaldo during Portugal's Group K match against DR Congo at Houston Stadium, capturing one of his final appearances in a Portugal shirt.

The federation's tribute plans are expected to recognize Ronaldo's status as Portugal's all-time leading scorer and most-capped player, though specific details of the commemoration have not yet been disclosed.
