Everything you need to know about how to watch Cristiano Ronaldo in action with the Kings of Najd.

The Saudi Pro League may have experienced a sharp increase in overall star power after their flashy summer recruitment drive of European stars. But there is still one man who stands above all the rest — Cristiano Ronaldo.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner superstar left Europe to play for Al-Nassr, spurning offers from Major League Soccer as well as a host of clubs from countries such as Brazil, Australia, and his native Portugal to embark on a new journey in Asia.

Arguably the greatest goal-scorer in the history of football, it should come as no surprise that even at the age of 39, he is tearing it up in the Middle East as he continues to shatter all sorts of goal-scoring records.

After a trophy-less debut season at the club, the Al-Nassr skipper has helped to deliver the first piece of silverware with the Arab Club Champions Cup in the ongoing season, but the Knights of Najd have fallen behind in their bid to land the Saudi Pro League title and faced an exit in the AFC Champions League.

Showing little sign of slowing down, Ronaldo ended the year 2023 as the top goal scorer in the world with 54 goals. If you are wondering where to watch the phenomenal Ronaldo in action for Al-Alami, GOAL has everything you need to know.

When did Cristiano Ronaldo make his Al-Nassr debut?

Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo was eager to get going as soon as he touched down in Riyadh, suggesting at his unveiling press conference that then-head coach Rudi Garcia could throw him straight into the team for the very next game.

However, he had to wait for his debut for Al-Nassr, with a two-match ban incurred during his time at Manchester United following him to Saudi Arabia. That sanction, arising from an incident where he was found to have smashed the phone of an Everton fan, ensured he was unavailable for games on January 6 and January 14 in 2023.

He sat out the game against Al-Tai at a rain-soaked Mrsool Park and also missed the next game against Al-Shabab, so his Al-Nassr debut finally came on January 22, 2023, against Al-Ettifaq.

Ronaldo made his Saudi debut for the Riyadh All-Star team in a friendly against Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain on January 19. Ronaldo was captain of the team, which was made up of Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal players.

He scored two goals and looked impressive in the 60-minute display, appearing to enjoy the chance to face off against his perennial rival once more.

How long is Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr?

Cristiano Ronaldo agreed to a deal with Al-Nassr that will see him remain at the club until 2025.
