Cristiano Ronaldo performed the ‘Al Arda’ dance after scoring a goal in a home match against Al Shabab FC in the Saudi Pro League 2023 – 2024 season. In the match, Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals through penalty kicks to lead the team to a 4-0 win. Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty goals were in the 13th and 38th minutes. Sadio Mane (40th minute) also scored a goal for Al Nasr FC.
Al Arda is a traditional dance of the tribes of Saudi Arabia. Al Arda is a sword dance. Al Arda is a dance that reveals the strength and martial prowess of tribal men. It is a dance performed by men standing in two rows. Former US President Donald Trump danced Al Arda with Saudi Arabians during his visit to Riyadh.
The celebration on social media is that the Al Arda dance is a sign of Cristiano Ronaldo’s love for Saudi Arabia. However, Al Nasr FC defeated Al Shabaab FC 4-0 in the match and moved up to sixth place in the points table. Al Nasr FC has six points from four matches with two wins and two losses. Karim Benzema’s Al Ittihad FC and Roberto Firmino’s and Riyad Mehrez’s Al Ahly Saudi FC are in the top two positions of the league with 12 points each.
