FIFA #8 Group K UEFA POR

Background

Portugal's best World Cup finish was Eusébio's third-place run at England 1966, and they have not reached a final in 96 years of trying. Roberto Martínez's 2026 squad gives Cristiano Ronaldo a final tournament alongside a Bernardo Silva–Bruno Fernandes–Vitinha midfield in its prime.
