Christiano Ronaldo in Obidos on the Silver Coast

Christiano Ronaldo and his team mates have been training right here in Obidos in preparation for their crucial World Cup qualifiers against Hungary and Malta. With qualification for the 2010 world cup in South Africa hanging by a thread Portugal have to win their two remaining qualifiers and hope that a few of the other results go their way and even then they are not guaranteed a ticket to next year’s show piece.

The team, however, was still able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Obidos on the Silver Coast as they were put through their paces and the state of the art training facility just minutes away from the amazing Obidos Castle.

Obidos Castle is seen by many as a symbol of good fortune, let’s hope that the Portuguese national team receives some of the good fortune.
