Portugal at FIFA World Cup 2022, live streaming, full schedule: Cristiano Ronaldo’s last dance in Qatar

The Portugal national football team, led by one of the greatest forwards of all time Cristiano Ronaldo, will enter the men’s FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar looking to go the distance for the first time.

It will be Portugal's sixth consecutive football World Cup, having participated in each edition since 2002. However, the Selecao haven’t made the most of their chances making just one semi-final appearance in 2006 and no quarter-finals since then.

Qatar 2022 will also be Cristiano Ronaldo’s fifth and final FIFA World Cup. The five-time Ballon d'Or (best football player award) winner is the leading scorer in the international circuit with 117 goals but has struggled for form at his club Manchester United this year.

While Portugal (POR) did win Euro 2016 and the UEFA Nations League title in 2018-19, they have mustered just three wins in the last three editions.

Placed in tough Group H, Portugal will be challenged for the top spot by two-time world champions Uruguay, the team which beat them in the last 16 in 2018. Asian heavyweights South Korea and Ghana, the other two teams that make up Group H, will not be walkovers either.

Portugal will open their campaign against Ghana on November 24. The world No. 9 Portugal will face nemesis Uruguay on November 28 and then take on South Korea in their final group match on December 2. All matches can be seen on live streaming in India.

Coached by Fernando Santos since 2014, Portugal have built plenty of options in different positions and will not be relying solely on Cristiano Ronaldo for goals.

Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix and AC Milan's Rafael Leao are among the forwards expected to make the final cut while attacking midfielders Bernardo Silva, who plays for Manchester City and Ronaldo’s Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes will seek to hold the midfield together.

Portugal’s backline, meanwhile, is expected to be led by Manchester City skipper Ruben Dias and experienced Pepe.
