Cristiano Ronaldo has once again etched his name deeper into football history after becoming the first player to score in six different FIFA World Cup tournaments.
The Portugal captain reached the unprecedented milestone during his country's 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage clash against Uzbekistan, adding yet another remarkable achievement to an already legendary career.
Ronaldo had previously scored at the 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups, Ronaldo's goal in 2026 puts him in a class of his own. No player in the history of the competition has managed to score across six separate editions of the tournament, highlighting his incredible longevity, consistency and ability to perform on football's biggest stage over two decades.
The record is another chapter in a career filled with historic milestones. Already the leading goalscorer in men's international football, Ronaldo's latest strike also took his international tally to 144 goals while extending his record number of appearances for Portugal.
