The fate of the Portuguese was in their hands, but they were slow to take advantage of it. Seleçao are top of Group F, the position to directly qualify for the 2026 World Cup. However, with a lead of two and three points respectively over Hungary and Ireland, Portugal is not guaranteed to finish the qualifying group stage in first place.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates including Paris players Vitinha and Neves challenged Armenia on the final day. They largely outplayed them in the first group game (5-0), but since then the dynamics have changed. Held by Hungary (2-2), Roberto Martinez’s men have just lost against Ireland (2-0), while they have the opportunity to book their ticket to North America.
The final day of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup between Portugal and Armenia will be held this Sunday, November 16 at 15.00 WIB. The Group F match will be broadcast live on L’Équipe Live Foot.
