Cristiano Ronaldo's role has been confirmed by Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr since they acquired him from Manchester United following the World Cup. On January 11, Al Nassr announced via social media that rumours that Ronaldo had been hired to aid Saudi Arabia in its World Cup quest were untrue.

According to media sources, Saudi Arabia, Greece, and Egypt are thinking of submitting a combined bid to host the 2030 World Cup.

“Al Nassr FC would like to clarify that contrary to news reports, Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Al Nassr does not entail commitments to any World Cup bids.

"His main focus is on Al Nassr and to work with his teammates to help the club achieve success,” the club statement read.

On January 3, 2023, Al Nassr made Ronaldo public by revealing that he had gone to Saudi Arabia after conquering Europe. According to rumors, Ronaldo receives an annual income from Al Nassr of approximately $200 million (Ksh24.7 billion).

The five-time Balon d'Or champion joined the team after his unveiling despite receiving offers from other clubs in order to take on a fresh challenge. Ronaldo stated that despite receiving offers from other clubs, he committed to Al Nassr.

On January 22, against Ettifaq, the 38-year-old forward is anticipated to make his Al Nassr debut.
