Cristiano Ronaldo Honors Saudi Founding Day In Bisht As Al Nassr Return To The Top

Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a night to remember at Al Awwal Park — not only with his performance on the pitch, but with a powerful gesture that resonated far beyond football

After scoring twice in Al Nassr’s commanding 4–0 victory over Al Hazem, the Portuguese star celebrated Saudi Arabia’s Founding Day wearing a traditional bisht, blending sport with national pride in a moment fans won’t soon forget.

The victory marked Al Nassr’s eighth consecutive win and, combined with Al Hilal’s draw in the Saudi Clasico, lifted the team back to the top of the Roshn Saudi League for the first time in 10 rounds.

Yet it was the full-time celebration that captured hearts

Draped in the ceremonial bisht, Ronaldo stood before the home crowd in tribute to Founding Day — a gesture widely praised as a sign of respect and belonging. His message afterward reinforced the sentiment.

“I belong to Saudi Arabia,” he said. “It’s a country that welcomed me very well — me, my family and my friends. I’m happy here.”

Al Nassr now lead the table by a single point as the title race tightens. But beyond goals, standings, and records, the night showcased something bigger: a global football icon embracing local culture and celebrating a national moment alongside the fans who now call him one of their own.
