Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play in Al-Kholood vs Al-Nassr, Saudi Pro League 2025-26 Match?

Yes, Ronaldo is confirmed for the starting XI and is set to spearhead Al-Nassr’s offensive line. Ronaldo, who turns 41 next week, has shown no signs of fatigue in the 2025-26 campaign, contributing heavily to Al-Nassr’s current run of three straight wins. A victory tonight would move the Riyadh-based club closer to the summit before the league takes a short break.

Ronaldo currently sits third (16 goals) in the league scoring charts. He trails Al-Ahli's Ivan Toney (18 goals) and Al-Qadsiah's Julian Quinones (17 goals). Earlier this month, Ronaldo became Al-Nassr’s highest-scoring foreign player of all time, reaching 116 goals for the club and surpassing the previous record of 115 held by Abderrazak Hamdallah.
