A handout picture released by Saudi Arabia’s al-Nassr football club shows Al-Nassr’s new Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo holding the club’s number seven jersey ahead of his unveiling ceremony at the Mrsool Park Stadium in the Saudi capital Riyadh on January 3, 2023. AFPPIX: Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo faces a wait to make his Al Nassr debut because the Saudi club have exceeded their quota for foreign players, club sources told AFP on Thursday.
The game at the 25,000-capacity Mrsool Park was eventually postponed for a day until Friday over “electrical faults” caused by heavy rain, the Saudi Pro League said. Al Nassr's foreign contingent includes Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina, Brazilian midfielder Luiz Gustavo and forwards Anderson Talisca of Brazil and Vincent Aboubakar of Cameroon.
Mrsool Park, where Ronaldo was unveiled to fireworks and deafening cheers from a capacity crowd on Tuesday, was sold out once again for Thursday's scheduled game.
