Portugal HubThe Portuguese national team, led by Roberto Martínez, faces Uzbekistan with Rúben Dias and João Félix in the starting lineup. The match is crucial for Portugal's qualification in the 2026 World Cup.
Who's playing?
The 'quinas' formation features Diogo Costa in goal, João Cancelo on the right, Nuno Mendes on the left, and Renato Veiga and Rúben Dias in the center. In midfield, Vitinha, João Neves, and Bruno Fernandes form the midfield line, while Pedro Neto, João Félix, and Cristiano Ronaldo make up the attack.
