Cristiano Ronaldo has resumed training with Al Nassr in Riyadh, sporting a striking copper-yellow hairstyle just days after marrying his longtime partner, Georgina Rodríguez, in a private ceremony in Portugal.
The Portuguese forward shared photos of himself wearing the club’s training kit on social media on Thursday, captioning the post, “Back 🟡🔵”. The images showed the 41-year-old with a fresh copper-yellow hairstyle, marking a noticeable change from the dark brown look he had maintained for years, including during Portugal’s 2026 World Cup campaign.
Ronaldo returned to the squad following Portugal’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Spain knocked them out in the Round of 16. Al Nassr had granted him additional time away from the team after the tournament and his private civil wedding to Rodríguez on August 11 in Cascais, Portugal.
The intimate wedding ceremony was attended by their five children. The couple, who have been together for nearly a decade, confirmed their marriage by sharing a photograph of their wedding rings.
Last season, Ronaldo helped Al Nassr end a lengthy wait for domestic success by winning the Saudi Pro League title. He scored 28 league goals as the Riyadh club finished top with 86 points, two points ahead of rivals Al Hilal.
The triumph marked Ronaldo’s first major trophy with Al Nassr since joining the club in late 2022 and the team’s first league title since 2019.
Al Nassr coach Ange Postecoglou and Ronaldo’s teammates welcomed the captain back with applause during a training session, celebrating both his return and recent marriage. The club also shared pictures of his arrival, teasing fans with a caption asking who had turned up at the training ground.
Ronaldo is now preparing for the new Saudi Pro League campaign, with Al Nassr set to begin their title defence against Al Fateh on August 15.
Fans reacted enthusiastically to Ronaldo’s social media post and his new appearance.
