Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently featuring at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has been wearing custom boots bearing the names of his children and is set to receive a special pair made in gold after reaching another historic milestone.
On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Portugal thrashed Uzbekistan 5-0, with Ronaldo scoring twice. The goals enabled the veteran forward to become the first player to score in every FIFA World Cup tournament he has participated in.
At the tournament, Ronaldo has been wearing the Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Elite, specially customized to include the names of his children. One boot bears the names of his daughters — Eva Maria, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda — while the other features the names of his sons, Mateo Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
His partner, Georgina Rodríguez, and the couple’s children are accompanying him in the United States, where they have been supporting him throughout the World Cup campaign.
Following his latest achievement, having scored in six different World Cup tournaments, Nike is preparing to unveil a new pair of special-edition golden boots dubbed the “Gold Mercurial Superfly RGN,” which Ronaldo is expected to wear in Portugal’s upcoming matches.
The 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan moved Portugal to the top of Group K with four points and strengthened the team’s hopes of advancing to the knockout stages.
The custom boots highlight Ronaldo’s close bond with his family and add a personal touch to what could be the final World Cup appearance of the 41-year-old superstar. Throughout his career, the Portuguese icon has frequently dedicated achievements to his loved ones and has often spoken about the importance of family in his life.
Ronaldo’s latest record further cements his place among football’s greatest players. Having now scored at six World Cups, he continues to extend records that may stand for generations, while inspiring younger players with his longevity, consistency and commitment to excellence.
