Cristiano Ronaldo respects Saudi Arabia's National Day.


The renowned footballer Cristiano Ronaldo surprised his fans when he celebrated the Saudi National Day celebrations in style. The Al Nassr attacker was seen with his teammates in a viral video sporting a traditional Saudi thobe and Bisht with a sword. With his position as the kingdom's ambassador and his backing for Saudi Arabia's ambition to host the FIFA World Cup in 2030, Ronaldo has enthusiastically accepted Saudi culture.

Beyond just symbolism, Ronaldo's link to Saudi Arabia is important. He also has the duty of promoting Saudi Arabian tourism abroad after signing a hefty three-year contract with Al Nassr in December 2022, worth $212.2 million per season. Ronaldo's primary emphasis is on the club and winning championships with his teammates, but it's important to note that Al Nassr FC made it clear that his ambassadorial job does not involve duties related to any World Cup bid.

Ronaldo recently discussed his happiness at Al Nassr in an interview, highlighting the team's excellent brotherhood. He showed his dedication to the team by scoring two important goals in an exciting 4–3 Saudi Pro League victory over Al Ahli FC, proving his influence both on and off the field.
