Ronaldo suspended for one match for making obscene gesture towards fans
Al-Nasr Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for one match for making an obscene gesture towards fans. This was reported by Reuters with reference to the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF).
As punishment, Ronaldo is also required to pay a fine of 10 thousand Saudi riyals ($2,666). In addition, he must cover the costs of the Al-Shabab club for filing a complaint (20 thousand rials). It is noted that the decision is not subject to appeal.
On February 26, Ronaldo made an obscene gesture after the match of the 21st round of the Saudi Arabian championship against Al-Shabab (3:2). The attacker waved his hand several times in the groin area. It was noted that this was done to Al-Shabab fans who were chanting the name of Argentine forward Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo moved to Al-Nasr on December 30, 2022. The 39-year-old forward’s contract is valid for two years.
