Cristiano Ronaldo scores four for Al Nassar (El Nassar)
Saudi Arabia is celebrating its foundation day today (Wednesday), and is doing it with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al Nasser's Portuguese star showed up at the home stadium Marsul Park and participated with the club's staff in a ceremony to mark the day the first Saudi state was established (February 22, 1727) - a day that became a national holiday after King Salman declared it last year.
During the four-day holiday, various events are held throughout the country and Ronaldo also experiences some of the customs of his new home.
The Portuguese donned traditional clothes and also carried a sword during the ceremony he attended along with his teammates.
After that he also tweeted about it on his Twitter account and wrote: "Happy foundation day to Saudi Arabia. It was a special experience to participate in the celebration."

Last Friday, Ronaldo contributed his first two goals in the Al Nasser uniform, including a wonderful pass from his own half of the field, and led his team to a 1:2 win over Al Tawan, which left them in first place in the Saudi league, with a goal difference advantage over Al Ittihad and Al Shabab.
On Saturday, the 38-year-old star will leave with his friends to stay with Demak.
So far, he has five goals in five games and, as mentioned, two assists.
Al Nasser, coached by Rudy Garcia, hopes to win the championship for the 10th time.
