The stadiums where Cristiano Ronaldo will play in Saudi Arabia CR7's new stages in the desert

After entering the world's most prestigious stadiums, Cristiano Ronaldo will now light up the lesser-known stadiums in Saudi Arabia with his presence. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner moved to Al-Nassr last January and signed a pharaonic contract that will net him 70 million a year in salary alone, not counting sponsorships and bonuses. However, the Portuguese, who has already made his mark with a poker at Al-Wehda, will find a completely different kind of football than the one in which he became a star during his career. Starting with the stadiums. Say goodbye to gigantic 60-70 thousand-seater facilities and hello to much smaller pitches like the unique King Abdullah International Stadium, which can hold up to 62,000 fans. Al-Nassr's own facility, the King Saud University Stadium, has a capacity of just 25,000. But in the Saudi professional league, Cristiano Ronaldo will also play in facilities with 6 thousand spectators.

Cristiano Ronaldo will also play in two stadiums with a very small capacity, however. These are the Al-Batin Club Stadium and the Al-Majma'ahSportsCityStadium, with capacities of 6,000 and 7,000 respectively. The former was only built in 2016 and is indeed a new and modern facility, while the latter was built back in 1990 and looks like a suburban pitch.
