Cristiano Ronaldo, the famous Al-Nassr soccer player, got a warm welcome when he arrived in Tehran, Iran on Monday. His team, Al-Nassr, came to Tehran to play against the Iranian club Persepolis in the Asian Champions League. This visit is special because no Saudi club has been to Iran since 2016, and it's also Ronaldo's first time in Iran with Al-Nassr.
Iran and Saudi Arabia had some problems, so they didn't talk to each other since 2016. The last time Iranian and Saudi Arabian soccer teams played in their own countries against each other was in 2015 during the Asian Champions League. After 2016, they played in other places. But this year, they started talking again.
Ronaldo's visit to Iran made a lot of people excited. Many fans crowded the streets in Tehran just to see him. They chanted "Ronaldo, Ronaldo" and held up posters with his picture. Some fans even went inside the Espians Palace Hotel to try and see Ronaldo. Al-Nassr posted some exciting pictures on a social media platform called X (it used to be called Twitter) to show everyone the amazing scenes and said, "You can't buy moments like these. Come closer and see the incredible things happening when we arrived in Tehran, Iran."
