Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr Unveiling Got More Views Than 2022 FIFA World Cup Final

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr Unveiling reportedly got more viewership than 2022 FIFA World Cup final.

The 37-year-old move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia has caused quite a stir, as evidenced by the impressive reception he received, and has drawn the attention of thousands of fans to the Arabian team.

This has been seen in the significant increase in followers on Al-Nassr’s Instagram account after they announced Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al-Nassr’s Instagram followership moved from less than 800 thousand from the time of Ronaldo’s unveiling to 10.8 Million as of the time of filing this report.

How many people watched Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr Unveiling?

According to Journalist Pedro Sepuleda, Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation ceremony at Al Nassr reached “3 billion views on 40 channels around the world”. This is reportedly more than the World Cup final viewership on those same channels.

When could Cristiano Ronaldo make his debut for Al-Nassr?

Cristiano Ronaldo is now eligible to play for Al-Nassr, having had his name registered by the club. However, he still has to wait a little longer before making his debut for the team.

The Portuguese icon is currently serving a two-match ban for an act he did during his time with Manchester United. He was handed a suspension after he was found guilty of smashing an Everton fan’s phone in April last year.

Cristiano Ronaldo will thus have to watch Al-Nassr’s upcoming match against Al-Shabab from the stands. He is likely to make his first appearance for the club in their Saudi Pro League clash against Ettifaq on January 22.
