Cristiano Ronaldo could be set for another landmark moment away from the pitch despite Portugal’s disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The former Manchester United star saw his country’s campaign come to an end in the Round of 16 after a dramatic 1-0 defeat to Spain.
Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino scored a stoppage-time winner to send La Roja through.
That defeat sparked widespread speculation over Ronaldo’s future.
However, the 41-year-old has since made it clear that he wants to continue representing Portugal beyond the tournament, with his sights now set on UEFA Euro 2028.
While his playing future remains a major talking point, fresh reports suggest another significant honour could soon be heading Ronaldo’s way.
EA FC is EA Sports’ flagship football video game series, previously known as FIFA before the long-running partnership between EA Sports and FIFA ended in 2023.
The franchise remains one of the biggest gaming titles in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo tipped for EA FC 27 cover
According to respected EA FC leaker DetectiveFUT on X, who has built a strong reputation for accurately revealing Ultimate Team content and game information before official announcements, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently expected to be the cover star for EA FC 27.
DetectiveFUT claims Ronaldo is in line to feature on the Ultimate Edition cover.
The standard edition is currently expected to include either Jude Bellingham and Ousmane Dembele together or a Real Madrid player alongside a Barcelona player.
The leaker also stressed that the information is not 100 percent confirmed and that EA Sports could still change plans before the official unveiling.
If the reports prove accurate, Ronaldo would add another prestigious achievement to a career that continues to grow both on and off the pitch.
Despite entering the final stages of his playing career, the Al-Nassr captain remains one of football’s biggest global stars and one of the sport’s most marketable figures.
Fans will now await EA Sports’ official announcement to discover whether Ronaldo will once become the face of one football’s biggest gaming franchises.
