Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr’s star forward, faces a one-game suspension imposed by the Saudi Football Federation’s Disciplinary and Ethics Committee. The decision follows an incident post their 3-2 victory over Al Shabab.
Ronaldo’s suspension stems from an alleged obscene gesture towards Al Shabab fans, including cupping his ear and making a provocative hand gesture near his pelvic area in response to chants of Lionel Messi’s name from opposing supporters.
Furthermore, Ronaldo has been slapped with a hefty fine of 10,000 Saudi riyals ($2,666), payable to the Saudi Football Federation, along with an additional 20,000 riyals to Al Shabab to cover complaint filing fees.
The committee’s ruling, comprising suspension and fines, stands as final with no avenue for appeal. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
