On his trip to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo was accompanied by a delegation that included his family, as well as a group of his financial and legal advisors.

The Saudi newspaper, Al-Riyadiah, had indicated that the mass audience would be prevented from receiving Ronaldo, whether at the airport or its surroundings, but this did not prevent the fans of the Don, who were aware of the date of his arrival, from attending.

Al Nassr Club is preparing to hold a big reception ceremony for Ronaldo in Riyadh, which will be hosted by the team's stadium, "Mrsool Park".

The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, January 3, at exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Mecca time, and the player will deliver a short speech.

When will Cristiano Ronaldo play his first match with Al Nassr?

Al Nassr Club is awaiting obtaining a certificate of financial competence on the one hand, and the arrival of the international card on the other hand, so that Ronaldo appears in the team's shirt for the first time.

And the matter doesn't stop at this point, as Al Nassr awaits knowing the position of the suspension penalty that Cristiano was subjected to when he was a player for Manchester United, due to breaking a phone for an Everton fan, during a match between the two teams last April.
