Cristiano Ronaldo is pursuing the historic milestone of 1,000 official senior career goals.

Resolution Criteria

YES: Cristiano Ronaldo scores at least 1,000 official senior career goals before permanently retiring from professional football.

NO: Cristiano Ronaldo permanently retires from professional football without reaching 1,000 official senior career goals.

Eligible Goals

- Goals scored in official senior competitive club and international matches count.

- Goals scored in youth, reserve, exhibition, testimonial and unofficial friendly matches do not count.

- Penalty kicks scored during normal or extra time count. Goals scored during penalty shootouts do not count.

- Goals must be officially credited to Ronaldo.

Retirement Conditions

- Retirement from international football alone does not constitute full retirement if Ronaldo continues playing professionally at club level.

- Temporary breaks, injuries, periods without a club or changes in professional contracts do not automatically constitute retirement.

- Retirement must be confirmed through an official announcement or reliable reporting.

Verification

Results will be verified using official records from FIFA, relevant football associations, leagues and clubs, supported by reputable statistical sources such as ESPN.

If sources disagree about Ronaldo's official goal tally, resolution will be delayed until the discrepancy can be reasonably resolved.
