Ronaldo's Al Nassr Seeks Saudi League Glory in Season Opener

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr is gearing up for the start of the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season, as the team prepares to face off against Al Taawoun on Friday, August 29th. Al Nassr finished third in the league last season, 13 points behind champions Al Ittihad, and is now looking to close the gap and secure its first league title since Ronaldo joined the club in 2023.

To strengthen its chances, Al Nassr has made some key signings during the offseason, bringing in players like Joao Felix, Inigo Martinez, and Kingsley Coman. The team is hoping these new additions will help propel it to the top of the table and end Al Ittihad's reign as the dominant force in the Saudi Pro League.

However, Al Nassr's preparations for the new season have not been without their setbacks. The team recently lost the Saudi Super Cup final against Al Ahli on penalties, a result that will undoubtedly have left the players and coaching staff disappointed. Nevertheless, they will be determined to put that disappointment behind them and focus on the task at hand – securing a strong start to the league campaign.
