Portugal Home Shirt 2010

In 2010, Portugal, managed by Carlos Queiroz, competed at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa with a squad featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, Luís Figo, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, and Hugo Almeida. Portugal advanced from a tough group with draws against Ivory Coast and North Korea and a win over Brazil, topping the group. In the Round of 16, they faced Spain, the eventual champions, and were narrowly defeated 1–0 by David Villa’s second-half goal. Despite the exit, the team demonstrated attacking potential and tactical organisation, with Ronaldo emerging as the central figure and symbol of Portugal’s ambitions for future tournaments.
