Al-Nassr's first match since Cristiano Ronaldo transfer called OFF at last minute

Al-Nassr have been forced to postpone their first game since the blockbuster signing of Cristiano Ronaldo after heavy rain hit their stadium in Saudi Arabia.

The club have been thrust into the international spotlight after completing the incredible, big-money signing of Ronaldo after his Manchester United contract was cancelled at the end of 2022. They unveiled Ronaldo this week and were due to face Al-Ta'i on Thursday but have had to call off the game and push it back until Friday.

The club tweeted: "Due to heavy rain and weather conditions impacting the stadium’s electricity, we have been officially informed that tonight’s match against Al Ta'i is postponed for 24 hours. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to fans and wish everyone safe travels."
