RIYADH — Al Nassr football club revealed on Friday their upcoming tour schedule in China, set to take place at the end of January. The team is scheduled to play against Shanghai on the 24th of the month, followed by a match against Zhejiang on the 28th.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary player of Al Nassr, shared an inspiring message to the Chinese fans through a video published on the club's official account, saying, “Hello... Are you ready? Al Nassr is coming.” Notably absent in the video were Sadio Mané and Seko Fofana, potentially missing the tour due to their commitments with their national teams in the African Cup of Nations.

Recalling a similar experience, Al Nassr previously participated in an Asian tour in Japan last June. There, they faced prominent teams like Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan as part of the Japan International Championship, resulting in a goalless draw with Paris Saint-Germain and a 1-1 draw with Inter Milan.

Before embarking on their Chinese tour, Al Nassr is gearing up for their last local match against Al Taawoun on December 30, as part of the 19th round of the Roshn Saudi League.

The upcoming China tour of Al Nassr is highly anticipated by the team's fans and football enthusiasts in China, especially eager to witness the star power of Cristiano Ronaldo and other Al Nassr players on their home turf.
