Saudi Arabia unveiled a 30-player roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including six teammates of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. The Saudi Pro League title in 2025-26 cemented Al Nassr as the strongest team in the country, which translated into a major presence from the club in Saudi Arabia’s preliminary squad. Six teammates of Cristiano Ronaldo now have a chance to play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “Saudi Arabia national team head coach Georgios Donis has confirmed his 30-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” the Saudi Pro League announced this Saturday in a statement published on its official website. Of those players, 28 compete in the domestic league, one plays in the second division, and only one plays abroad: Saud Abdulhamid, a defender for Lens in France. Al Nassr have the second-highest number of players called up to the national team, with six total selections. Only Al Hilal have more, with seven. The other club heavily represented in Saudi Arabia’s 30-man roster is Al Ahli, with five players. The teammates of Cristiano Ronaldo and recent Saudi Pro League champions selected to the squad are goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi, defenders Abdulelah Al Amri and Nawaf Boushal, midfielders Abdullah Al Khaibari and Ayman Yahya, and forward Abdullah Al Hamdan.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace in the 4-1 Al Nassr win over Damac FC to secure the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr hosted Damac FC at Al Awwal Park on Thursday for a high-stakes Matchday 34 showdown in the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League, with the league title on the line in a fierce race against Al Hilal. To push his side to the championship trophy, Cristiano Ronaldo converted a spectacular free kick and a ruthless open-play finish to fire the hosts to a commanding 4-1 victory. Sitting on 83 points, Al Nassr entered the match needing a victory to control their own destiny and prevent Al Hilal from snatching the trophy from their hands. Sadio Mane opened the scoring with a brilliant header, and then Kingsley Coman doubled the advantage with a powerful left-footed strike in the 52nd minute, before Morlaye Sylla cut the deficit from the penalty spot in the 58th. With Al Nassr already holding a narrow 2-1 advantage, Joao Felix tried to generate an opening down the left flank before being brought down by a heavy challenge. Despite facing a difficult, narrow angle, Ronaldo stepped up to take the set piece and fired a powerful strike that skipped off the turf and past the diving keeper to extend the lead in the 63rd minute. من ركلة حرة ⚽️كريستيانو رونالدو يوسّع النتيجة لصالح النصر 🐐🟡قصة هدف النصر الثالث كاملة 🎥#النصر_ضمك | #دوري_روشن_السعودي pic.twitter.com/wkiQBok6VF— رياضة ثمانية (@thmanyahsports) May 21, 2026 Then in the 81st minute, Al Nassr orchestrated a brilliant team sequence down the right flank spearheaded by Coman; after a defender failed to clear a dangerous cross, Ronaldo collected the loose ball inside the six-yard box and unleashed a thunderous strike to net his second goal of the night. الهدف الرابع، وهدف يقرّب الحسم 🟡قصة هدف النصر الرابع كاملة 🎥#النصر_ضمك | #دوري_روشن_السعودي pic.twitter.com/4H0uvkR4AT— رياضة ثمانية (@thmanyahsports) May 21, 2026 Immediately after celebrating, the Portuguese legend dedicated the decisive goal to his wife, Georgina Rodriguez, who was watching from the stands. As he walked back to the halfway line, an emotional Ronaldo was seen breaking down in tears, overwhelmed by the moment as he finally brought his trophy drought with Al Nassr to an emphatic end. With the championship safely secured, manager Jorge Jesus made the decision to sub out Cristiano Ronaldo for Abdullah Al Hamdan, sending the captain to the sideline to a deafening standing ovation. Once on the bench, Ronaldo remained visibly emotional, soaking in the gravity of the moment as Al Nassr officially crowned themselves Saudi Pro League champions. مشاعر كبيرة ودموع فرح من كريستيانو رونالدو 🥹#النصر_ضمك | #دوري_روشن_السعودي pic.twitter.com/Y9CtYNn6TT— رياضة ثمانية (@thmanyahsports) May 21, 2026 Ronaldo extends career goal record to 973 Seven years had passed since Al Nassr last lifted the league trophy, making this first official piece of silverware in Saudi Arabia an incredibly special milestone for Cristiano Ronaldo, especially just days after a heartbreaking loss to Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two final. Beyond securing the SPL crown, the Portuguese icon has now extended his legendary career total to 973 goals. With tonight’s decisive brace, Ronaldo has racked up 129 goals in 148 appearances for Al Nassr, including 30 tallies across all competitions in the 2025-26 campaign. Now sitting just 27 goals away from the mythical 1,000-goal milestone, anticipation surrounding Ronaldo’s historic pursuit will only intensify as he pivots to his next major challenge: the 2026 World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s AFC Champions League Two final hopes take huge hit as Al-Nassr loses Marcelo Brozovic, Kingsley Coman, and three other key players for Gamba Osaka clash

worldsoccertalk.com · last month

Cristiano Ronaldo’s dream of finally lifting a major trophy with Al-Nassr has suddenly become far more complicated. Cristiano Ronaldo’s dream of finally lifting a major trophy with Al-Nassr has suddenly become far more complicated. Ahead of the AFC Champions League Two final against Gamba Osaka, the Saudi club has been rocked by a wave of absences, including Marcelo Brozovic, Kingsley Coman, and several other key first-team stars. The timing could hardly be worse for Jorge Jesus and his squad. Al-Nassr is preparing for one of the biggest nights in the club’s recent history, while Gamba Osaka arrives in Riyadh sensing an opportunity to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the home side. The AFC Champions League Two final represents far more than another cup match for Jorge Jesus and his players. The club has not won a major continental title since the late 1990s, and Ronaldo now stands just one game away from adding another international trophy to his legendary career. The pressure around the match has intensified after Al-Nassr’s dramatic Saudi Pro League draw against Al-Hilal earlier in the week. Ronaldo and his teammates were seconds away from celebrating a potentially decisive victory before a late goalkeeping error changed the entire mood around the club. Despite that setback, the Riyadh outfit still remains in a strong position domestically. However, attention has now shifted completely toward Saturday’s continental showdown at Al Awwal Park. Injury crisis hits Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus What initially appeared to be minor concerns quickly turned into a major selection headache for Jorge Jesus. Reports from Saudi Arabia confirmed that Marcelo Brozovic, Kingsley Coman, Angelo Gabriel, Nawaf Al-Aqidi, and Abdulelah Al-Amri are all expected to miss the final due to injury problems. The injuries reportedly stem largely from the physically demanding Riyadh derby against Al-Hilal. Several players suffered muscle issues during the intense contest, forcing Al-Nassr’s medical staff into emergency recovery mode before the final. According to the Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah, Marcelo Brozovic, Kingsley Coman, and Abdulelah Al Amri underwent MRI scans to determine the severity of their injuries. The report added that Portuguese club doctor Carlos Miguel ruled out the trio, along with Angelo Gabriel and goalkeeper Nawaf Al Aqidi, because of the severity of their muscle injuries. 📰 #مصادر_الرياضية:• 5 مصابين#النصر_الهلال #دوري_روشن_السعودي 🇸🇦#RoshnSaudiLeague https://t.co/lGNjSu13va pic.twitter.com/28M501ej9H— صحيفة الرياضية (@ariyadhiah) May 13, 2026 That news has delivered a huge blow to Al-Nassr’s preparations. Brozovic has been one of the midfield leaders throughout the campaign, while Coman’s pace and creativity played a massive role during the knockout rounds. Among the missing names, the Frenchman’s absence may hurt the most emotionally for the Knight of Nadj’s supporters. The French winger was sensational in the semi-final victory over the Qatari team Al-Ahli SC, producing a stunning hat-trick that pushed his team into the final. Without him, much more responsibility now falls on Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Joao Felix. Kingsley Coman of team Al-Nassr FC during a game. Jorge Jesus searching for solutions The injury crisis has forced Jorge Jesus into difficult decisions only days before the final. Arriyadiyah also suggests that the Portuguese manager is now considering rotating heavily and relying on younger or less experienced players to protect the remaining stars from further physical problems. The report stated that the Portuguese manager is worried about fatigue, possible extra time, and the short turnaround before the final Saudi Pro League fixture against Damac. Several reserve players have reportedly been prepared to start if needed, including Hayder Abdulkareem, Abdullah Al Hamdan, Ali Al Hassan, Sultan Al Ghannam, Saad Al Nasser, and Abdulrahman Ghareeb.
