  • Al-Nassr has outdoored the club's new first-team training facilities
  • The facility will serve as the headquarters of the club's first-team squad
  • The latest state-of-the-art facilities will suit club talisman Cristiano Ronaldo's yearning for the latest technology to be incorporated into football

Al-Nassr has unveiled their cutting-edge training facilities as part of their ongoing efforts to ensure their star-studded squad feels completely at home.

Ever since bringing in superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi Pro League, the Knights of Najd have been diligently upgrading their facilities to keep pace with the latest advancements in the world of sports.

Notably, Ronaldo had previously voiced his dissatisfaction with his former club, Manchester United, for their failure to modernize their facilities in line with the evolving trends in a sport increasingly driven by technology and science, according to talkSPORT.

It seems that his message to the Red Devils has resonated with the Riyadh-based giants, prompting them to enhance their facilities swiftly.

This proactive approach aligns with the Saudi Pro League's ambitious goals of competing at the highest level alongside Europe's premier leagues.

In a video posted on the club's official X App account, the reigning Arab Cup champions tantalized fans with a 48-second glimpse of their state-of-the-art training centre.

Here is the video:

Al-Nassr's recent resurgence

Meanwhile, Al-Nassr, who finished as runners-up to Al Ittihad in the previous season, will aim for their third consecutive victory on Saturday, September 2, when they face Al Hazem as the visiting team, per Sofascore.

Despite a sluggish start to the 2023-24 season, Luis Castro's squad, led by the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, seems to have rediscovered their winning touch, scoring an impressive nine goals in their last two games.

Club Rankings: Al-Nassr ranked above Inter Miami

In the most recent World Club Rankings, Cristiano Ronaldo's team in Saudi Arabia, Al-Nassr, is regarded as significantly superior to the Major League Soccer team, Inter Miami.

Al-Nassr currently stands as the 163rd-best club in the world, marking a remarkable ascent of 21 places in the rankings. In contrast, Lionel Messi's Inter Miami has experienced a significant drop in rankings, plummeting 157 places to occupy the 1,538th position now, as reported by Football Database.

Al-Nassr's opponent's dressing room revealed

Sports Brief also reported on a photo of the dressing room Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates had to use for their league game last Friday, which has begun to circulate online.

As reported by Daily Star, Al-Fateh does not enjoy the same level of financial support as many of its Saudi Pro League rivals, which includes the four clubs owned by the nation's well-funded Public Investment Fund: Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli, and Al-Ittihad.
