Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his club Al-Nassr will prematurely end their training camp in Saalfelden, Austria, due to persistent rain. This was announced by the organizers according to Sky. Accordingly, the club from Saudi Arabia will fly to Portugal on Wednesday evening after a friendly against Toulouse in Grödig, where part two of the preparation is planned. The match between Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli Dubai scheduled for Saturday (August 2nd) is canceled.
“CR7” and his team had settled in the noble Hotel Gut Brandlhof. Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund will also stay there from next Monday (until August 9th) for their training camp. Currently, the pitch is “hardly playable and too soft due to the heavy rain,” said Brandlhof owner Alexander Strobl on Sky.
In addition, the immense rush of fans due to Ronaldo, who recently extended his contract until 2027, has repeatedly posed problems for the organizers in recent days. According to Sky information, some young fans even knocked on Ronaldo’s hotel room door and waited for their idol in the hotel corridors.
