Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Spain. Portugal’s idol will fit into Al-NASSR in a pre-season match against Almería on August 10, a match that marks the official home unveiled by the Spanish club ahead of the new season.
The exhibition is part of Almería's summer schedule and will be held at the Power Horse Stadium, where fans have seen former Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo compete for the first time in Spain in the European League in November 2022.
Almería and Al-Nassr also participated in the pre-season clash last summer, ending the Spanish side with a 3-0 victory. However, Ronaldo didn't play on that occasion, watching with Aymeric Laporte.
This will be Ronaldo's fifth appearance at the Almería Stadium after he previously scored four goals in four visits as a Real Madrid player. He is not the only star on the court either – Nasr's side also includes former Liverpool winger Sadio Mané, Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozović and Portugal's organizer Otávio, now experienced coach Jorge Jesus.
When will Cristiano Ronaldo return to Spain to play?
The match was held on Sunday, August 10 at 7pm local time (1pm), and nine days later, Al Nassr faced Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals on August 19.
Tickets for the friendly match will be released on Tuesday, and the appearance of Ronaldo will undoubtedly drive prices up.
