Al-Nassr pre-season 2023: Fixtures, schedule, timing and telecast details

Ronaldo and co will be looking to grab the title this season after finishing 2nd last season

Even after a promising start in the Saudi Pro League 2022-23, Al-Nassr finished the season as the runner-up thanks to a sustained period of off-form. Al-Nassr still made their way to the continental competition AFC Champions League. Ronaldo and his Al Nassr teammates returned for pre-season training at the start of July with six friendly games scheduled ahead of the Arab Club Champions Cup.

Al-Nassr kicked off their pre-season campaign with an easy victory over FC Alverca in Portugal on July 10. The Saudi giants will take on Celta Vigo at Estádio Algarve on July 18. Three days later, Dinko Jelicic’s men will meet Benfica, who won the Primeira Liga last season. Al Nassr will then travel to Japan to continue their string of friendly fixtures. A match against Paris Saint-Germain is planned for July 25, with Inter Milan facing the Saudi giants two days later.

The busy pre-season schedule corresponds to Al Nassr’s transfer ambitions ahead of the next campaign. Ronaldo will spend his first full season in the Saudi Pro League while the club are eyeing moves for several other top-class stars. Following their pre-season friendlies, Al Nassr will face Monastir and Zamalek in the group stage of the Arab Club Champions Cup. Here is the pre-season squad:
