As a result of fans converging in the hundreds, Al-Nassr was forced to make adjustments to its plans.Credit should go to alnassr on Instagram.

There were even rumors that Al-Nassr canceled a workout because of the commotion generated by his hundreds of followers.

It demonstrates that Ronaldo’s fame has gone even further across Asia when he moved to Saudi Arabia in January of this year. Ronaldo made the move.

The arrival in Saudi Arabia throughout the summer of some high-profile players, including as Neymar, Karim Benzema, and Aymeric Laporte, has also contributed to the growing excitement.

Sadio Mane, a former teammate of Ron’s at Liverpool, has joined Ron at his current club. Mane’s former teammates at Liverpool, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho, and Jordan Henderson, have all moved to the same league as Ron.

Al-Nassr published videos on the social media platform X, which was once known as Twitter, depicting fans racing to catch the yellow bus.

A great number of people put their phones up to the vehicle’s windows in an attempt to get pictures of the player who had won the Ballon d’Or five times.

Football is the most popular sport in Iran, and Ron, a former legend for both Manchester United and Real Madrid, is the greatest outside sporting draw in the country.

The year 2003 marked the first time since then that he did not make the shortlist for the Ballon d’Or award.

A run of this length could be considered a compliment; yet, when contrasted to the historical notoriety of Persepolis, Ron’s longevity is insignificant in comparison.

Approximately between the years 500 and 330 B.C., the city that is now known as Al-Nassr served as the capital of the Persian empire.

In addition, the fact that it contains archaeological sites makes it a World Heritage Site.

But despite having left football’s top leagues, Ron is by no means a relic in the sport.

And after scoring twice in extra time to help Al-Nassr win the Arab Club Champions Cup in August, he now has his sights set on adding Asia’s most prestigious club trophy to his collection of five Champions League victories in Europe.
