Cristiano Ronaldo unveiling surpasses 2022 FIFA World Cup views
Cristiano Ronaldo, ex-Real Madrid, and Manchester United striker was presented as an Al-Nassr player on Tuesday, January 3rd, at Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo, who has five Champions League trophies to his credit, inked a contract extension until June 2025 for a projected 200 million euros, not late after parting ways with Premier League club, Manchester United.
The five-time Ballon d’Or victor stated that his duty in Europe is finished and that he has inked a “unique contract for a unique player” in Saudi Arabia. Following the most recent viewership data, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s unveiling for Al Nassr was seen by nearly 3 billion people on 40 different networks worldwide.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup final involving Argentina and France was seen by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide. His introduction celebration at Mrsool Park drew 25,000 fans, all of whom were eager to witness Ronaldo don Al Nassr’s yellow shirt for the inaugural time.
The viewership for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr unveiling surpassed the views of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as reported by Pedro Sepulveda. 1 million more views than that of the latter shows the power of Cristiano Ronaldo and is just another record under his name.
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke Arabic during the unveiling ceremony at Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo is an idol to billions of people and knows how to delight the masses. During his Al-Nassr presentation, he was given a superior round of applause from his new admirers for speaking in their language. Fans anticipated seeing his famed ‘Siuu‘ cry, but it was missing from the moment.
The ex-Manchester United player showed respect for the warm welcome he received in Saudi Arabia. Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation at Al-Nassr Stadium was phenomenal, with a large crowd cheering and screaming his name following a laser and fireworks performance. The event’s photos emerged to be from a trophy honoring instead of a player introduction.
Ronaldo expressed in English, complimenting the standard of the Saudi league and stressing his goal to “make people happy“. He also hugged academy players, tossed balls into the crowd, and smiled for photos with his family.
The chant was “Ana Alamy,” which means “I’m global,” a reference to the squad’s moniker. Without question, all was an aspect of a well-thought-out branding strategy, albeit one that marginally failed, but the crowd was enthusiastic and appreciated it. Cristiano Ronaldo’s new adventure has gotten off to a strong start.
