World football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Riyadh on Monday night to join Al-Nasr, reported the Saudi Press Agency.
He was received by President of the club's Board of Directors Mesli Al-Muammar, his deputy Abdullah Al-Omrani, and CEO Ahmed Al-Ghamdi and a group of children, affiliated to the club's fans.
Ronaldo’s presentation will be held at Al-Nasr's stadium on Tuesday.
Fans have clamored for tickets for the event. Priced at 15 riyals, the proceeds will go to the Ehsan charity platform.
Al-Nasr announced the signing of one of the world’s biggest sports stars on social media on Friday.
Ronaldo has won five European Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and Manchester United.
“The signing of a player the size of Cristiano Ronaldo is extraordinary, and contributes to the development of Saudi football,” said Al-Nasr's French coach Rudy Garcia, who has coached Lyon and Roma.
“We are happy with his arrival. The first goal is to work so he can adapt to our team, to enjoy playing for Al-Nasr, and to entertain the fans.”
