Coinciding with Saudi Crown Prince’s Visit, Trump Hosts Ronaldo at the White Hous

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to receive football star Cristiano Ronaldo at the White House on Tuesday, following Portugal’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup finals.
This visit brings together one of the world’s most famous football stars and the President of the United States just months before the start of the tournament, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Ronaldo (40 years old) has previously announced that the US, Canada, and Mexico World Cup will be his last in his illustrious career.
Reports also indicate that Portugal may play a friendly match against the US men’s national team before the World Cup, potentially giving American fans an early opportunity to see Ronaldo before the tournament begins.
Trump has previously received FIFA President Gianni Infantino several times in the Oval Office.
According to MSNOW, citing The Mirror US and Mundo Deportivo, Cristiano Ronaldo, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, will now join the list of prominent football figures who have met with the US president.
Recent reports indicate that Ronaldo expressed his desire to meet with Trump, and the meeting has now been officially confirmed by the White House.
The report quotes sources within the White House confirming that Ronaldo will arrive on the same day that Trump meets with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
It remains unclear whether there is a connection between the two meetings, especially since Ronaldo currently plays for the Saudi club Al-Nassr, but White House officials have not indicated any direct link between the two agendas.
