Musona joined Al-Tai FC from Belgian giants Anderlecht back in July 2021, as per The Standard. He proved to be an immediate success with the team, with his six goals and eight assists.

He was in the Saudi Pro League Team of the Week a staggering five times that season, helping the team finish a credible sixth on the log table. Incidentally, Ronaldo is in line to make his Al-Nassr debut against Musona's side.

Ronaldo to meet Knowledge Musona

The world is looking forward to watching what impact Cristiano Ronaldo will have on the Saudi Pro League.

The Portuguese great was unveiled as Al-Nassir's historic signing on Friday in the richest deal in history for an individual sportsperson.

Soccer24 pointed, to the excitement of Zimbabweans and South Africans, on how Ronaldo's first match in the country could be against Al-Tai FC next week Thursday. This is significant because that is the team that the respected Knowledge Musona plays for in the Middle Eastern country.

Ronaldo confuses KSA for South Africa

Cristiano Ronaldo made an embarrassing blunder during his unveiling at Al-Nassr, after he confused Saudi Arabia for South Africa.

The veteran forward was officially presented before thousands of the club's fans at the home ground of Mrsool Park on Tuesday evening, January 3.

However, The Sun reports the 37-year-old was involved in an embarrassing gaffe after he mistook Saudi Arabia for South Africa.
