Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, Katia Aveiro, drew attention on social media after posting a cryptic message following Portugal’s 1-1 draw against Congo DR in the team’s opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Portugal entered the tournament with high expectations but was unable to secure a victory in its first group-stage game on June 19. Ronaldo, the team captain and one of the biggest stars in world football, did not score during the match as Portugal settled for a point.

In the hours after the draw, Aveiro appeared to comment on Portugal’s performance through an Instagram Story that quickly circulated online.

Magically, they forgot how to pass, win the ball back, and launch counter-attacks. The game became all about passing backwards in midfield. Strange World Cup. Very strange.

The post came as Portugal faced criticism from fans and media following a result that fell short of expectations. While Aveiro did not mention her brother or any individual player by name, her comments drew attention because of her close connection to the Portugal captain.

Ronaldo remains a central figure for Portugal as the team continues its World Cup campaign. The veteran forward is competing in another World Cup tournament and will have additional opportunities to help Portugal improve its standing in the group stage.

Aveiro continued to make headlines later in the day when she shared several Instagram Stories showing herself dressed in Brazil-themed clothing ahead of Brazil’s World Cup match against Haiti.

The posts prompted discussion among football fans because Aveiro is a prominent supporter of her brother and the Portuguese national team. However, she also has personal ties to Brazil. Aveiro is married to Brazilian businessman Alexandre Bertolucci, and the couple shares a daughter.

Georgina Rodríguez’s engagement ring remains one of the most expensive WAG fashion statements

The spotlight on football families during the World Cup has also renewed interest in some of the sport’s most notable off-field moments, including Cristiano Ronaldo’s engagement to longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez.

Rodríguez, an Argentine-Spanish model and influencer, announced her engagement to Ronaldo in 2025 after the Portugal star proposed with a massive diamond ring. The engagement received significant attention on social media, where Rodríguez shared photos of the jewelry with her followers.

According to reports, the ring features a 30-carat oval-cut diamond and is valued at approximately £7.5 million. The piece remains one of the most expensive and talked-about engagement rings associated with the partners of professional footballers.

As the 2026 World Cup continues, attention has extended beyond the players on the field to the wives and girlfriends supporting them from the stands and online. The trend dates back to the 2006 World Cup, when the term “WAGs” became widely used by British media to describe the partners of football stars.
