Hong Kong fans queue for opening of Cristiano Ronaldo exhibition

Visitors at the opening of the "CR7 LIFE Museum Hong Kong" at a luxury shopping mall posed next to life-sized statues of the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player, including one in mid-air celebration and another in traditional Saudi dress. "Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol... he's special," said 14-year-old Alvin Lai, who was first in a queue of more than 100 people. "He's the most hardworking person out there," said university student Henry Singh. "He's 40 years old and still going very strong." Ronaldo signed a new two-year contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr last month, calling it a "new chapter" in an Instagram post. Al Nassr are due to play in a pre-season tournament in Hong Kong next month. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo will be greeting fans at the museum "very soon", said Tomas Froes, a representative of the footballer's family office. The 12,000 square feet (1,110 square metres) exhibition sends a "strong message for everyone to achieve their dreams", Froes told AFP. Organisers have said the Hong Kong exhibition will run for a year before heading to mainland China. © 2025 AFP

Cristiano Ronaldo may decide club future today, representative says in Hong Kong

Visiting to discuss the player's museum, set to open in the city in July, representative says announcement is imminent Cristiano Ronaldo could have his future signed and sealed within hours, his representative said in Hong Kong on Thursday, amid reports that the Portuguese was close to agreeing a contract extension with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. Speaking at a press conference about the player's CR7 Life Museum in Hong Kong, which will open in the K11 Musea shopping centre in Tsim Sha Tsui on July 7, Ronaldo's representative said an announcement was imminent. Asked whether the 40-year-old Ronaldo had made a decision about his future, with his Al-Nassr deal expiring at the end of this month, Tomas Froes said: 'It will be announced very soon, probably today.' The BBC has reported that the Portugal captain could extend his stint at Al-Nassr by two years. It came after Al-Nassr's Italian manager Stefano Pioli left the Saudi side on Wednesday. No reason was given by Al-Nassr, but Pioli, who took over last September after Luis Castro was dismissed over poor results, has been linked with a return to Italian club Fiorentina. Ronaldo paid tribute to his former manager on social media, writing 'thanks for everything'. Having joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after leaving Manchester United, Ronaldo has scored 99 goals in 111 appearances for the Saudi club, including 35 in 41 matches last season to earn the league's golden boot award.
