An exhibition match featuring Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in Saudi Arabia is evidence of the country’s sportswashing strategy still being at “full throttle”, according to human rights group Amnesty International.
Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, who recently moved to Saudi club Al Nassr, will feature in a Saudi All-Star XI taking on Messi’s club Paris Saint-Germain in a match in Riyadh on Thursday.
