Ronaldo May Miss Start of 2026 World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo lost control of his emotions during the match between Ireland and Portugal. The renowned forward struck an opponent with his elbow during a clash in the game.

As a result, following the intervention of the VAR system, Ronaldo was shown a red card. Discussions are ongoing across social media platforms about the potential consequences of this incident for Ronaldo.

It is confirmed that he will miss the crucial qualifying match against Armenia on November 16. Furthermore, as highlighted by the popular page TheScreenshotLad, Ronaldo, having received a direct red card, faces a minimum two-game suspension.

This penalty will also affect official competitions, meaning if Portugal secures the top spot in their group and qualifies directly for the World Cup without playoffs, there is a possibility Ronaldo might miss the opening match of the tournament. The decision of FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee is awaited, as Ronaldo could potentially face a three-match suspension.
