«Being the mother of a story that defines generations is the greatest gift life has given me»
Dolores Aveiro, mother of Cristiano Ronaldo, shared a message on social media following Portugal's draw with Colombia in the third and final matchday of Group K at the 2026 World Cup.
«Being the mother of a story that defines generations is the greatest gift life has given me. There were difficult, yet crucial, decisions. My lack of information was never greater than my instinct. We came from humble beginnings and we keep moving forward, bigger than ever… Until the very end,» she wrote.
Dolores Aveiro was in Miami to watch the National Team's match. Indeed, the Aveiro clan was present in full force at the stadium. Katia Aveiro, Elma Aveiro, and Georgina Rodríguez, along with Cristianinho and Mateo, also attended the game that concluded the group stage for the Portuguese squad. In the next phase, the Round of 32, Portugal will face Croatia.
