Is this the beginning of a new era in soccer for Cristiano and his family? It has already been a week since CR7’s son was confirmed as a Champion as Al Nassr clinched the title in the U13 league. And what could make a father prouder than seeing his child follow in his footsteps? Ronaldo is set to witness the young man and his team receive recognition for their triumph this season.
Jr. has played a significant role in his team’s victory in the league this year. After consistently scoring goals, he is finally being rewarded for his patience in traveling around the world with his father. He has joined all the youth academies where his dad has played, and his time in Riyadh has already become memorable.
On February 9th, Al Nassr was confirmed as the winners of the Saudi U13 league after defeating Ohod 4-1. However, Al Nassr has been waiting for today’s match against Al Fateh to honor the young players for their incredible achievement. The tribute is expected to take place before the start of the game at Al Awwal Park in the presence of the mighty Cristiano Ronaldo. The club secured their 13th victory of the season, earning them 40 points, with Jr. also contributing a goal alongside Nawaf Naji, Saif Ahmed, and Nasser Alsaqabi.
There will be a recognition ceremony for the U13 team’s triumph in the Saudi League tomorrow, prior to the Al Nassr – Al Fateh match.
The club immediately congratulated the young players on social media once the title was confirmed. On its official account, they wrote, “The final whistle blew. Al Nassr U-13 champions. Our boys did it three weeks before the last game. Congratulations to our young stars; the future looks promising!”. Cristiano Ronaldo responded, “Congratulations, champion.”
Jr. joined Al Nassr’s Academy in October 2023 and was given the number 7 jersey, just like his father. The teenager previously played for the youth academies of Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United. In the Juve academy, the 13-year-old had an impressive run, scoring 58 goals and providing 18 assists in just 23 games.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo’s son dreams of playing alongside his father someday. CR7 revealed a few months ago, “My son tells me: dad, hold on for a few more years; I want to play with you!”. With the young player’s progress and his father’s determination, it seems that this goal is not impossible. Ronaldo, on the other hand, will continue his journey.
