Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates have appeared in a new video wearing traditional Saudi dress and wielding swords.

Ronaldo made the switch to Saudi Arabia in December last year but has already settled into life in the Middle East. The forward has seven goals from his opening five matches of the Saudi Pro League season and won the Golden Boot as his side clinched the Arab Club Champions Cup.

The global superstar has settled into life in Saudi off the pitch – which he demonstrated with his brief cameo in the video. The Portuguese superstar, along with teammates such as Sadio Mane and Talisca, appeared in traditional Saudi dress as he danced along at the end of the video.

The clip, posted on Al-Nassr social media account, showcases three children making their way throughout the club stadium and spotting a number of stars engaging in traditional activities.

At the end of the video, Ronaldo appears – alongside Mane – in a black bisht and a white thobe, while the ex-Liverpool star wore a gold and cream bisht with a white thobe. Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio, Talisca and Alex Telles are also featured in the video.

The caption of the video, on Twitter, was: ‘All together. For one flag. We Dream, and Achieve’ with a number of emojis following it. The video is linked to the celebrations related to Saudi National Day being held over the weekend.

Al-Nassr was one of the few teams not to be in action on Thursday night, as part of a busy schedule of Saudi Pro League fixtures.
