France’s 1998 FIFA World Cup winner, Frank Leboeuf has snubbed his country and backed Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Leboeuf said it is possible for Portugal to win the World Cup under their head coach, Roberto Martínez, because they have a great squad.
Portugal were disappointed in the last World Cup as Morocco sent them packing out of the competition in the last-8 stage after losing 1-0.
Speaking with GOAL, Leboeuf said, “It was like the 2022 World Cup was dedicated to Argentina’s Lionel Messi.
“I hope that the 2026 World Cup will be dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo.
“That would be fantastic for both Ronaldo and Portugal to get a World Cup. It is possible because Portugal has a hell of a team.”
