After winning 1-0 against Ireland on Saturday, Portugal can make their way to the 2026 FIFA World Cup if they win against Hungary on Tuesday in Lisbon where they can clinch Group F if Armenia fail to win against Ireland. That would secure a spot for the team coached by Roberto Martinez at the tournament that will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer. After winning the 2024–25 edition of the UEFA Nations League, Portugal enter the 2026 World Cup cycle among the main contenders for the title, led by captain Cristiano Ronaldo who, like his longtime rival Lionel Messi with Argentina, is set to play in his final World Cup. Here’s what you need to know about Tuesday’s match.
