Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying his time at Al-Nassr with his sensational form and involvement in Saudi Arabian cultural celebrations time and again. Recently, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner donned the Arabian outfit followed by his teammates Sadio Mane, and Alex Telles, among others ahead of the Saudi National Day on Saturday, September 23.
After a disappointing start to the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League season, where Al-Nassr lost their two opening games, the Cristiano Ronaldo-led side made a comeback and won their next four matches to take the sixth spot in the league with 12 points in six matches.
The Saudi National Day is a public holiday in the Middle Eastern country and is celebrated to commemorate the unification of the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz in 1932 to create modern-day Saudi Arabia. Ahead of the historic day, Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates donned Arabian outfits and were spotted holding swords in their hands in a new video on social media. Apart from Ronaldo and Mane, the list of Al-Nassr players to appear in the video includes the likes of Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio, Talisca, and Alex Telles among others.

Notably, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has also taken part in the Saudi Founding Day festivities earlier this year, on February 22, wearing the authentic Daglah robe, a traditional robe. Apart from this video, Ronaldo's behind-the-scenes video has also gone viral on social media, where he is spotted wearing the Arabian outfit and said, "Yallah, Yallah."
