The auction for the opportunity to see the great football players broke the record
Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo is set to play in Saudi Arabia for the first time since joining Al Nasr. He was named captain of the Riyadh ST XI team for the exhibition match against Paris Saint-Germain. In which his counterpart, world champion, Argentine Lionel Messi plays. This was announced on January 16 by the organizers of the meeting.
The 37-year-old Portuguese will lead a team made up of players from Saudi Arabian teams Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr. As expected, the meeting with PSG Messi will be the last, but not the final, chapter in the long history of the famous world football rivalry.
The ST XI also includes Saudi Arabian internationals Salem Al-Dawsari, who scored in a shock win against Argentina in the group stages of the last World Cup, and Saud Abdulhamid.
The long-awaited bout, which has reportedly received more than 2 million online ticket applications, will take place on Thursday, January 19 in Riyadh.
Bidding for a VIP ticket called “Beyond Imagination” for the match has already exceeded $2.66 million in the auction, which is due to close on Tuesday, January 17th.
Ronaldo missed his first two home matches for Al Nasr after he was suspended by the English Football Association for knocking a fan’s phone out of his hands in April 2022.
Ronaldo is due to make his first appearance in Saudi Pro League competition on Sunday, January 22, when Al-Nasr hosts Al-Ettifak.
