Donald Trump Reveals Son Barron Is Cristiano Ronaldo Fan After White House Meeting

Wale busari02 mins

President Donald Trump has shared that his son, Barron Trump, is a fan of football star Cristiano Ronaldo after the teenager met the player at the White House on Tuesday evening. Ronaldo was among the guests at a state dinner hosted by Trump in honor of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The Al Nassr forward attended the event with his fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, as part of the Crown Prince’s delegation. The 40-year-old footballer, dressed in a black tuxedo, joined other high-profile figures including Elon Musk and U.S. Vice President JD Vance. During his speech at the dinner, Trump highlighted Ronaldo’s presence and shared Barron’s excitement about meeting him. “This room is loaded up with the biggest leaders in the world, business, sports… My son is a big fan of Ronaldo… Barron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now, just the fact that I introduced you. So I just want to thank you both for being here,” Trump said. Ronaldo’s visit came shortly after he was shown a red card in Portugal’s FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ireland, which sidelined him for Portugal’s 3-0 win over Armenia on Sunday. The victory confirmed Portugal’s place at the 2026 World Cup, scheduled to take place across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Trump To Host Cristiano Ronaldo At White House Following Portugal’s World Cup Qualification

Wale busari02 mins

President Donald Trump is set to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo to the White House on Tuesday after Portugal secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Portuguese football legend, one of the biggest stars of the tournament, will visit as the United States, Canada, and Mexico prepare to co-host next year’s World Cup. There are also reports that a friendly match between Portugal and the U.S. men’s national team is being discussed as a warm-up ahead of the tournament. Trump has previously hosted FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the Oval Office, and now Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of football’s greatest players, will have his own audience with the president. Ronaldo had expressed interest in meeting Trump, and his request is being fulfilled. According to multiple White House officials, the visit is scheduled on the same day Trump is expected to meet Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It remains unclear whether the two meetings are connected, particularly as Ronaldo plays his club football in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr.

Wale busari01 mins

Cristiano Ronaldo has downplayed suggestions that Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer of all time. During an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, the Al Nassr star said he does not accept claims that the Argentine is better than him. “Messi better than me? I don’t agree with that opinion,” said the 40-year-old. “I don’t want to be humble.” The long-standing rivalry between the two icons has divided football fans for nearly 20 years. Both have dominated world football with numerous titles for club and country, though Messi holds eight Ballon d’Or awards compared to Ronaldo’s five.

Cristiano Ronaldo Makes History As First Active Footballer To Become A Billionaire

Wale busari01 mins

Cristiano Ronaldo has reached an unprecedented milestone, becoming the first footballer in history to earn billionaire status while still playing professionally. The Portuguese superstar’s fortune has officially surpassed $1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — a global list that tracks the wealth of the world’s richest individuals. The index evaluates net worth based on salaries, business ventures, investments, and real estate, updating figures as fortunes rise or fall. Ronaldo’s achievement places him in a class of his own, marking a historic moment not just for football but for the entire world of sports.

Ronaldo turns 40, sets retirement timeline

Fola Badmus03 mins

Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted he has no plans to retire for at least another couple of years yet. The Portugal superstar – who declared himself as the greatest football of all-time – celebrated his landmark 40th birthday on Wednesday. But the ever-modest Real Madrid and Manchester United icon has shown no signs of slowing down in Saudi Arabia, where he continues to shine at Al-Nassr. The GOAT is closing in on his 1,000th career goal and is just 33 appearances shy of an astonishing 250 caps for his country. Ronaldo has also set his sights on playing in the 2026 World Cup and despite his Al-Nassr contract expiring this summer, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is determined to push his limits even further. He said: “I could quit the sport today and I wouldn’t regret anything, but it would be a shame because I’m still very good. I would leave myself saying ‘I can still make a difference for another year or two’, that’s why I live very much in the present and I can’t think long term.” When Ronaldo does eventually decide to call time on his majestic career, the Madeira-born legend ruled out any prospect moving into management – instead revealing his intention to become a football club owner. In an interview with Spanish television station La Sexta, the Euro 2016 winner added: “Owning a club makes more sense. I don’t think my personality is well suited to being a coach. Almost impossible. I have been in football all my life… and being a coach is more complicated than being a player. “That is something that makes more sense. It is not something I rule out, if there is a good business. I do not have a club in my head, football is very momentary.”

Ronaldo’s Al Nassr fires coach Castro

Fola Badmus02 mins

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi club Al Nassr announced the departure of Portuguese coach Luis Castro on Tuesday, a day after starting their AFC Champions League Elite campaign with a disappointing draw. Monday’s 1-1 stalemate with Iraq’s Al Shorta in the Asian competition compounded a slow start to the domestic season with the current contract of Ronaldo, 39, due to expire next summer. “Al Nassr can announce that head coach Luis Castro has left the club,” said a statement posted on X. “Everyone at Al Nassr would like to thank Luis and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 14 months, wishing them the best of luck for the future.” Castro, 63, is the third coach to depart Al Nassr since Ronaldo’s groundbreaking arrival in early 2023 on a contract that was said to net him 400 million euros over two-and-a-half years. Frenchman Rudi Garcia quickly left that April, followed by a brief stint by Croatian coach Dinko Jelicic before Castro was appointed in July last year. The highly decorated Ronaldo is yet to win a Saudi trophy with the Riyadh club, with his sole silverware so far being last year’s Arab Club Champions Cup. Al Nassr, who finished a distant second in the last Saudi Pro League season, have drawn twice in three matches at the start of the new campaign. Ronaldo’s arrival heralded a rash of high-profile signings by Saudi clubs last year, with Neymar and Karim Benzema among those opting for the oil-rich, conservative kingdom.

Cristiano Ronaldo on Thursday thanked his supporters after reaching the milestone of one billion social media followers across all platforms. The Al Nassr captain has 638 million followers on Instagram, 170m on Facebook and 113m on X, previously known as Twitter. The 39-year-old recently launched his YouTube channel, “UR · Ronaldo,” that became the fastest channel to hit 1m subscribers on the platform and has now reached over 60m. “We’ve made history — 1 BILLION followers! This is more than just a number — it’s a testament to our shared passion, drive, and love for the game and beyond,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram. “From the streets of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I’ve always played for my family and for you, and now 1 billion of us stand together. “You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is our journey, and together, we’ve shown that there are no limits to what we can achieve. Thank you for believing in me, for your support, and for being part of my life.” Ronaldo, who earlier this month became became the first men’s player in history to score 900 goals in official matches, is not wanting to slow down. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner added: “The best is yet to come, and we’ll keep pushing, winning, and making history together.”
