The Captain's Armband Controversy at Al-Nassr After Ronaldo's Exit

The Captain's Armband Controversy at Al-Nassr After Ronaldo's Exit

Sunday 09-03-2025
During the match between Al-Nassr and Al-Shabab in the Saudi league, a humorous situation arose when Al-Nassr players refused to wear the captain's armband after Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted.

The story began in the 71st minute when Ronaldo handed the armband to Croatian Marcelo Brozović, but the latter passed it to Ali Al-Hassan, who returned it again.

The hesitation was evident as the armband was directed to Nawaf Bushal, but he refused to accept it, before it finally settled on Al-Hassan's shoulder, much to the surprise of the fans.

Reports revealed that the lack of coordination between Fernando Hierro, the sporting director, and Ukrainian Avihien, the director of football, caused this intriguing situation.

It was confirmed in reports that Omar Hawsawi and Khaled Al-Ghneiman do not intervene in determining the team captain, which exacerbated the confusion on the field.
