Cristiano Ronaldo Embraces Saudi Culture

It’s evident Cristiano Ronaldo has wholeheartedly embraced Saudi Arabia’s rich culture. He is the ambassador of Saudi Arabia, and serves as the face of the kingdom for its bid to host the 2030 Fifa World Cup. 

The Portuguese footballer signed a three-year deal with Al Nassr, in December 2022, that pays him $212.2 million per season, and there’s a clause wherein he has to promote Saudi Arabian tourism internationally. However, FC Al Nassr denied that Cristiano Ronaldo will receive any amount for being an ambassador. It clarified that CR7’s contract with Al Nassr does not involve commitments to any World Cup bid. “His main focus is on Al Nassr and working with his teammates to help the club achieve success.” 

In a recent interview, Cristiano Ronaldo shared his enthusiasm for the Arabian FC. “We have very good terms, very good Arab players. I’m happy here, I want to continue here, I will continue here.”
