Cristiano Ronaldo, at 41 years and 138 days, delivered a two-goal performance against Uzbekistan on June 23, 2026, propelling Portugal to a 5-0 victory and rewriting the national record books.
His brace brought his career World Cup tally to 10 goals, surpassing the mark of nine set by Portuguese legend Eusébio at the 1966 tournament-a record that had stood for exactly 60 years.
Ronaldo is now the second-oldest player ever to score at a World Cup, behind only Cameroon’s Roger Milla, who found the net at 42 in 1994. He is also the only player in history to score in six consecutive World Cup tournaments.
The milestone coincided with heightened activity for the Portugal Fan Token (POR) on the Chiliz platform, reflecting how iconic moments can drive engagement in blockchain-based fan assets. Ronaldo’s existing NFT collection on Binance adds another layer to the intersection of sports and digital assets.
