International footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is going to make a new world record for the most caps as he has been selected for participating in the Euro Cup 2024 with his Portugal team on Thursday.

Ronaldo holds the world record for men's international goals with 118. He already holds the European men's record of 196 caps, a tally that also equals the world landmark with Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutawa.

Cristiano Ronaldo will expect to claim that record outright, and add to his goal tally too, when Portugal face Liechtenstein and Luxembourg in the Euro Cup tomorrow (Thursday).

According to the AFP, Those who thought Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabia following the World Cup signalled the end of his international carer were surprised as the 38-year-old was named in new Portugal coach Roberto Martinez's first squad.

"I do not look at the age," said Martinez when asked about his decision to include the former Real Madrid and Manchester United man.

Ronaldo holds the world record for men's international goals with 118. He holds the European men's record of 196 caps, a tally that also equals the world landmark with Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutawa.

The 2016 European champions also play Iceland, Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group J.
