Portugal draw Group K for the 2026 World Cup

Group K is set

Portugal landed in Group K for the 2026 World Cup alongside Uzbekistan, Colombia, and DR Congo (3). It's a group you can win, no question. Colombia is the obvious threat – they can trouble anyone on their day – but Portugal have the deeper squad and the quality edge. Uzbekistan and DR Congo are the kind of teams you handle if you're serious about a deep run. No excuses.

The campaign has a rallying cry

The Portuguese Football Federation launched a new phase of its World Cup support campaign under the slogan "Vai dar Portugal" (1) (2). The sea features prominently as the backdrop – a nod to the nation's identity. It's the kind of unifying message that lands well when the squad is fully fit and the manager has every player at his disposal.

Fan reactions

The Ronaldo conversation never really stops. A recent thread picked up on Roberto Martinez explaining why he still selects Cristiano Ronaldo, calling him "a unique footballer that has changed the game" and praising his ongoing commitment to the national team. Read the full discussion here.
