Cristiano Ronaldo has been pictured greeting football fans upon his arrival in China ahead of his 10-day tour with the Saudi Arabia Pro League Giant Al Nassr.

With the Saudi Arabia Pro League on break, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates traveled to China to play two different friendly matches in Shenzhen.
The first friendly match for Al Nassr is against Shanghai Shenhua on January 24, 2024, and the second game comes against Zhejiang on January 28, 2024.
