Ronaldo banned from debuting for Saudi club Al Nassr
Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned from playing two games due to a disciplinary action taken against him by the FA, following the defeat of Manchester United against Everton in April 2022.
Ronaldo was to make his debut for Al Nassr, the Saudi Arabian football club, on Thursday. The 37-year-old player was to play his first game against Al Ta'ee at Mrsool Park for Al Nassr, but Ronaldo's debut is now postponed, reports Khaleej Times.
Ronaldo was found guilty of improper and violent conduct by the English FA in November and suspended for two matches for smashing a teenage fan's phone after the defeat against Everton.
Video footage apparently showed Ronaldo grabbing the phone from the boy's hand in fury and smashing it on the floor before walking away after the match.
The soccer player was fined £50,000 along with the ban, but could not serve the suspension as his contract with Manchester United was terminated. Ronaldo would have to serve the ban when he joined a new club.
The player will have to stay out of the matches against Al Ta'ee and Al-Shabab.
