Cristiano Ronaldo set for Spain return after three years when Al-Nassr face Almeria

The 40-year-old had spent nine years in Spain playing for Real Madrid.

When Al-Nassr play Almería in a preseason friendly, Cristiano Ronaldo will be putting on his boots on Spanish soil for the first time in three years.

Even though the Saudi team did not qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, they have endured a busy summer. The club just signed João Félix in a reported deal worth up to £43.7 million ($58.7 million), and also tied down Ronaldo with a two-year contract extension.

Al Nassr must focus on their forthcoming European preseason tour, even though there may yet be additional transfers to be made. To get ready for the 2025–26 season, which begins in a little over three weeks, Jorge Jesus’ team are travelling to Austria, England, and Spain.

Ronaldo to play in Spain after three years.

Ronaldo has the opportunity to play in Spain, where he played for nine years as a star for Real Madrid, thanks to one particular pre-season game in the an action-packed calendar. On Sunday, August 10, Al Nassr’s tour comes to an end with a game at UD Almería Stadium.

Ronaldo is familiar with the Southern Spanish stadium; throughout his years wearing a white shirt, the Portuguese superstar scored four goals in as many games at UD Almería Stadium.

The 40-year-old’s eagerly anticipated return to Spain was delayed last year when Al Nassr played Almería. The last time Ronaldo played in Spain was during a UEFA Europa League match between Manchester United and Real Sociedad in 2022.

Many Spanish supporters will be excited to see Ronaldo return to the nation where he elevated his already prosperous career. The Portugal captain has nearly every goal-scoring record in Real Madrid’s history and won 16 trophies with the team, including four UEFA Champions League triumphs.

People who want to witness one of the greatest players of all time perform live will still flock to see Ronaldo, even though he will now be wearing a yellow shirt.
