As Portugal prepares to kick off their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign against DR Congo in Houston today, all eyes are on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is set to feature in the starting XI for what many see as one of the Seleção’s strongest squads in recent memory.
Video footage from Portuguese sports channel Canal 11 captured the moment, showing Ronaldo and his teammates making their way through the wet conditions, with security personnel and staff ensuring a smooth exit.
As the squad departed their Houston hotel under overcast skies, players boarded the team bus amid enthusiastic support from Portuguese fans who braved the rain to cheer them on.
