The attention is directed to the expected friendly match between the Saudi victory and the youth of Al-Ahly, in the context of the preparations of the two teams for the start of the 2025-2026 season, amid anticipation of the participation of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Preparations continue in Austria
The Saudi Al -Nasr Camp for the new season in Austria was launched last Sunday, under the supervision of Portuguese coach Georgy Jesus, who returned to the leadership of Al -Alamy again in the Roshen League. During this camp, the team is scheduled to play five friendly matches, before moving to the second stage of preparation in Portugal, starting from August 4.
This intense program comes within the framework of the technical and tactical process of preparing the team, while giving the opportunity for new and young elements, in preparation for local and continental competitions.
Facing Al -Ahly youth on the agenda of victory
Within the agenda of friendly matches that Al -Nasr placed, the team is preparing to meet the youth of Al -Ahly on August 2, in its third friendly confrontation during the Austria camp. The Emirati team is also running a period of preparation in Austria, and it has recently defeated Udinese, 3-1, reflecting his high readiness for this confrontation.
The match represents a strong test for the two parties, especially with the high level of competition and the desire to stand on the most appropriate squad before the start of the season.
When will Cristiano Ronaldo participate?
Although Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Austria on Thursday evening, his position on the confrontation of Al -Ahly’s youth has not been decided yet. It is expected that the “Don” will start involving the team’s training starting from Friday, to be determined by his participation in the match based on the technical vision of coach Georgy Jesus.
It is reported that the Portuguese star crowned the title of top scorer in the Saudi League last season with 25 goals, in addition to providing 3 assists, which reflects his great impact within the ranks of victory.
How does Ronaldo affect the preparations?
The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the camp gives a strong moral boost to the rest of the team, especially young players who benefit from his great experiences. It also gives the technical staff the opportunity to try some tactical ideas in the presence of the team leader, before moving to the next station of preparations.
