Roberto Martinez’s side finished top of UEFA Group F to seal automatic qualification, although Ronaldo’s red card in the defeat to the Republic of Ireland in Dublin meant he was at risk of missing the opening games of the group stage until FIFA’s reprieve.

The 2026 tournament is also likely to be an emotional one for Portugal, as they compete for the greatest prize a year on from the tragic death of their forward Diogo Jota.
