Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo carried out his threat and boycotted his team’s match, Al-Nasr, in the nineteenth round of the Saudi League, expressing his protest against what he considered poor management and unfairness in dealing with his club compared to other competitors within the tournament.
In this context, the Belgian newspaper Le Soir revealed that Ronaldo’s protest is mainly directed against the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which owns the majority stake in Al-Nasr Club, and which at the same time controls other prominent clubs in the league, led by Al-Hilal Club. According to the same source, the player believes that the Fund granted greater financial and technical support to Al Hilal during the winter transfer period.
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo was counting on strengthening Al-Nasr’s ranks with strong deals that would help the team compete seriously for the league title, especially after a first season in which the club did not achieve its goals. However, the winter Mercato disappointed the team captain, as Al-Nasr was content with a limited deal, at a time when large amounts of money were pumped to strengthen Al-Hilal’s ranks.
On the other hand, the Belgian newspaper indicated that Al-Nasr’s technical staff, led by its coach, had demanded for weeks the strengthening of key positions within the squad, but these requests did not receive an actual response from the administration, which increased tension within the team. This situation prompted Ronaldo to express his anger publicly by boycotting the match.
In this context, the Portuguese star’s decision opened a wide debate within Saudi sports circles about the role of the Public Investment Fund and the limits of its interference in the management of the clubs it owns, and the extent of respect for the principle of equal opportunities between teams competing for titles.
At the same time, this dispute raises many questions about Ronaldo’s future with Al-Nasr, especially in light of his sporting and personal ambitions, most notably continuing to score goals and reaching historic numbers in his career. The absence of sports support may directly affect the team’s ability to achieve these goals.
The coming days remain crucial in determining the outcome of this crisis, whether through containing the dispute and rearranging the relationship between the player and the club management, or through a new escalation that may cast a shadow on the Saudi football project as a whole.
