Al Nassr have their first pre-season game of the summer on July 10 when they take on Portugal’s Alverca in Albufeira.
Luis Castro’s Al Nassr team have been training in the Algarve since the beginning of July in preparation for the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League season, which begins on August 11.
The team will play four warm-up games in Portugal before taking on PSG and Inter Milan in Japan, where Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for his first full season in the Middle East.
Ronaldo’s army of fans will be keeping a close eye on Al Nassr’s tour as they return from their summer break in the coming weeks.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Al Nassr vs Alverca?
Ronaldo has posted a string of social media updates in recent days, including pictures of his holiday with former Manchester United teammate Diogo Dalot, and a rigorous training regime in Portugal.
However, despite the 38-year-old looking to be already back in peak physical condition, there is little sign of him in Al Nassr’s Algarve camp ahead of the Alverca game.
Ronaldo was granted an extended summer break after playing for Portugal in June’s international window, and he will be eased back into match action this month.
He is expected to play a part in the Portugal-based friendlies against Benfica and Celta Vigo, and is certain to travel to Japan for the next leg of the tour.
