The match of the 12th round of the championship of Saudi Arabia “Al-Nasr” – “Al-Thai” was postponed due to rain, the press service of the home team reports.
Al-Nasr, which on Tuesday presented striker Cristiano Ronaldo, was supposed to play the first match since the transfer of the Portuguese on Thursday.
– Due to some power outages at the stadium after rain, the Al-Nasr club received permission to reschedule the match with Al-Thai. The game will take place on Friday.
Earlier it was reported that Ronaldo could miss the games against Al-Thai and Al-Shabaab (January 14) due to disqualification. In November, the Football Association of England (FA) suspended the player for two matches for the April incident, when he, while playing for Manchester United, broke the phone of a boy with autism. According to FIFA regulations, the suspension must be served even after moving to another championship.
Al-Nasr is at the top of the league table with 16 points, while Al-Thai is seventh with 18 points.
