Saudi football body suspends, fines Ronaldo
As captain of Al-Nassr and a former Sporting Lisbon star, Ronaldo was fined 30,000 riyals ($8,000) for violating rules against provoking the public.
This decision, unappealable, follows a video showing Ronaldo making thrusting gestures towards his groin in response to taunts from Al-Shabab fans chanting the name of his rival, Lionel Messi, after Al-Nassr’s 3-2 win.
The incident quickly went viral, dominating Saudi social media trends. Ronaldo reportedly stated that the gesture represented “strength and victory” rather than offense, a stance deemed acceptable in Europe.
The 39-year-old, renowned for his five UEFA Champions League titles, became a pioneer in Saudi football when he joined Al-Nassr in January 2023.
The move reflects Saudi Pro League’s pursuit of top-tier talent, aligning with the country’s ambitions to host the 2034 World Cup and expand its presence in global sports.
