Top six records Cristiano Ronaldo can break in 2026

These records will further solidify his position in football.

One of the most accomplished football players in history, 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo may add a few more records to his collection in 2026.

With the 2026 World Cup approaching, the Al-Nassr attacker appears to be as driven as ever to keep playing. After closely examining Ronaldo, we have identified six records that he has the potential to shatter this year.

First footballer to reach 1,000 goals

If he doesn’t sustain any injuries, he will most likely surpass this record in 2026. He currently has 957 goals, so he just needs 43 more to make history.

If he keeps up his present scoring pace, our estimates indicate that he will probably score his 1000th goal in the first few months of the 2026–27 season.

Ronaldo has declared that he will not retire until he reaches the milestone.

“It’s hard to continue playing, but I am motivated,” Ronaldo said when speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.“

“My passion is high and I want to continue. It doesn’t matter where I play, whether in the Middle East or Europe. I always enjoy playing football and I want to keep going.“

Lifting a league title in four different countries

No one has ever captured five top-flight titles from five different nations, as far as we can tell. But just a few players have won the league in four separate nations, and Cristiano Ronaldo might become one of them this year.

He hasn’t yet added a Saudi Pro League medal to his collection, but he has already won the Premier League, LaLiga, and Serie A.

Despite having a strong start to the season, Al-Nassr dropped to second place in the standings behind Al-Hilal after their most recent defeat.

Cristiano Ronaldo will create history if Al-Nassr can cross the finish line.

Arjen Robben, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham, Deco, Mark van Bommel, Rivaldo, Jiri Jarosik, and Mateja Kezman are among the other players who have won the league in four separate nations.

Only male footballer to score at six different World Cups

Cristiano Ronaldo will become the first player to score at six World Cup competitions if he can score at the 2026 World Cup.

Additionally, he is the only participant who will have the chance to shatter this record at the 2026 competition.

Lionel Messi will also compete in his sixth World Cup, although he won’t have the opportunity to surpass this record because he didn’t score in 2010.

First player to score 200 penalties

With 180 penalties, Ronaldo already has the greatest total in football history.

If he scores 20 more over the course of the year, he might increase his lead at the top and become the first player to score 200 penalties.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, that may seem like a lot, but it’s nothing new. He took 20 penalties in 2020 and converted 17 of them.

Al-Nassr’s all-time top-scoring foreign player

Ronaldo might become the highest-scoring foreign player in A-Nassr’s history, even though it is improbable that he will ever be the team’s clear top scorer.

With 259 goals, Majed Abdullah is their all-time leading scorer, although with 115 goals, Moroccan forward Abderrazak Hamdallah is now Al-Nassr’s highest-scoring foreign player.

Cristiano Ronaldo needs just three more goals to surpass this record, since he now has 113 goals for the team.

Become the first player to score 500 goals after turning 30

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo became the best-scoring over-30 player in football history, surpassing Ronnie Rooke’s mark.

As of this writing, CR7 has amassed an incredible 494 goals since turning 30, making him the only player in football history to reach 500 goals after that age.
