Ronaldo, Al-Nassr teammates arrive in Lagos for preseason
Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr Land in Lagos for Preseason Training!
Football fans around the world are buzzing as Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates arrive in Lagos—not Nigeria, but the scenic coastal city in Portugal—to kick off the next phase of their preseason training.
The Saudi Pro League giants made the official announcement via their social media channels with the caption:
“Lisbon chapter closed, Lagos chapter loading.”
This move comes after an intense training camp in Lisbon, where the team ended on a high note with a 2-1 victory against French side Toulouse. Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo found the back of the net, proving he’s already in form for the upcoming season.
🌟 Star-Studded Squad Gathers Momentum
Ronaldo is joined by a host of world-class teammates including:
-
Sadio Mané
-
João Félix (the exciting summer signing from Chelsea)
-
Marcelo Brozović
-
And a strong supporting cast hungry for trophies.
The team is now based in Lagos, Portugal, where the calm environment and top-notch facilities will help them intensify preparations before returning to Saudi Arabia for competitive action.
🔥 Fans React to Ronaldo Wearing Number 9
One of the surprises from the training ground has been Cristiano Ronaldo sporting the number 9 jersey in practice—rather than his iconic number 7. While this may be just a training bib, fans online are already speculating if a jersey number change could be in the works.

While it turned out to be Lagos, Portugal, the excitement shows just how deeply connected Nigerians are to the global football scene—and to Ronaldo in particular.
