ZURICH: Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo can play in the opening matches of the 2026 World Cup after global football governing body Fifa gave him a partially “suspended” ban on Tuesday following a red card.

The 40-year-old was sent off as Portugal lost 2-0 in Dublin earlier in November when he elbowed Dara O’Shea in the back, for his first dismissal in 226 international appearances.

Fifa banned Ronaldo for three matches, two of which will be suspended and the other has already been served, when Portugal sealed their qualification for next summer's tournament against Armenia.

“In line with article 27 of the Fifa Disciplinary Code, the serving of the two remaining matches has been suspended under a one-year probation period,” said Fifa in a statement given to AFP.
