National football team Bo Dao Nha

In 1930, Portugal was not invited to the World Cup, because the tournament had no qualifiers. They started participating in the World Cup for the first time in 1934, but they were not able to reach the championship trophy. Then, because of the Second World War, no World Cup was held. It was not until 1950 that the World Cup returned. From 1995-2006, fans witnessed the golden generation of the Portuguese team. The first time Portugal participated in the World Football Championship - World Cup was in 1966. At the UEFA Euro 1984, they lost to France with a score of 2-3. During this period, Portugal was not part of the team predicted to win the title, with their participation in major tournaments almost intermittently. From the end of the Cold War until now, this team has grown more and has participated in all the final rounds of major tournaments. This is largely because they have some very good technical players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luís Figo, Rui Costa and Ricardo Carvalho. These players are considered some of the greatest in the history of Portugal. It was this golden group of players that helped the Portuguese team win a ticket to the semi-finals of EURO 2000, or the runner-up position in the Euro 2004 final after defeating Greece at home.

Mr. Fernando Santos has been appointed as the head coach of the Portugal national team since 2014. At Euro 2016, he helped Portugal gold. on the big title after beating host France in the final. And at this tournament, player Ronaldo ended the tournament with the title of Silver Shoe. With this victory, Portugal had the opportunity to participate in the FIFA Confederations Cup held in Russia, where they finished third. Up to now, Portugal has participated in 8 World Cup times, the first time was in 1966, and the best result they achieved was third place. At the 2022 World Cup, Portugal is one of 16 teams competing in the 1/8 round.
