Cristiano Ronaldo’s Deep Bond with Saudi Arabia
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, has officially stated that he plans to live in Saudi Arabia permanently. Describing the kingdom as “peaceful and safe,” Ronaldo shared that he and his family feel completely at home.
In a video shared by Al Nassr, Ronaldo expressed heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome he has received. “We’re not just living here — we’re building a life,” said the legendary Portuguese forward.
Al Nassr Contract Extended Until 2027
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr FC in late 2022 after leaving Manchester United, and he recently extended his contract until 2027. That means Ronaldo will be playing in the Saudi Pro League until after his 42nd birthday.
“I’m staying because I still have a mission — I want to win a major title with Al Nassr,” said Ronaldo.
So far, CR7 has netted 99 goals for the club and continues to push for more.

He remains fully motivated, with one eye on the FIFA World Cup 2026 and beyond.
Ronaldo’s Praise for Saudi Football and 2034 World Cup
Ronaldo also praised the growth of football in the region:
“The Saudi Pro League is already among the top five leagues in the world,” he said confidently.
He believes the FIFA World Cup 2034, hosted by Saudi Arabia, will be “the most beautiful ever” and encouraged fans to experience the kingdom’s hospitality and culture themselves.
A New Chapter for Ronaldo and Saudi Football
