Turned Out, Reports of Ronaldo Leaving Saudi Arabia Fake
Ever since the US Embassy in Riyadh was hit during the missile exchanges between Iran, and US-Israeli forces, reports started circulating in a section of the media that the Al Nassr Captain Ronaldo has left the Kingdom along with his family.

“Ronaldo’s £61M jet lands in Madrid amid Riyadh strikes…. The star left Saudi Arabia after the AFC suspended matches due to the Iranian attacks on the US Embassy”, Russia News wrote on X while sharing the video courtesy The Sun.

All these reports have now turned out to be false based on the series of images and video clips shared by Al-Nassr FC.
Meanwhile, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has confirmed that Al-Nassr Vs Al-Wasl AFC Cup Quarter Finals, originally scheduled on March 4, 2026, has been postponed until further notice. The match was scheduled to be played in Dubai.
On the other hand, Saudi Pro League scheduled matches are currently underway despite the volatile situation in the region. And, as of now, there are no reports that Al-Nassr vs Neom on March 08, 2026 will be postponed.
