The Portugal men’s national football team, governed by the Portuguese Football Federation and part of FIFA and UEFA, has been a consistent force in international football since their breakthrough third-place finish at the 1966 World Cup. After sporadic appearances, they became regular contenders from 2002 onward, reaching the 2006 World Cup semi-finals. Portugal achieved major success by winning UEFA Euro 2016 and the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2019. Known for legends like Eusébio, Luís Figo, and Cristiano Ronaldo—the all-time leading international goalscorer—the team remains competitive in World Cups and European tournaments. Roberto Martínez has been head coach since 2023.
