Cristiano Ronaldo was already banned from making his debut for Al-Nassr (Anadolu Agency via Getty)

Al-Nassr’s first game since signing Cristiano Ronaldo has been called off after heavy rainfall in Riyadh.

The 37-year-old, who has signed a contract with the Saudi Arabian club worth £175 million a year, was officially unveiled earlier this week.

However, Ronaldo has been forced to wait to make his debut as he is currently serving a two-match suspension from the Football Association after he smashed an Everton fan’s phone during a Premier League game last April.

Despite Ronaldo now playing in Saudi Arabia, FIFA’s regulations state that players still need to serve their bans even after moving to a different league.

But Al-Nassr’s first game of the Ronaldo era was postponed on Thursday after rain in the Saudi Arabian capital caused electrical problems at the Mrsool Park stadium.

A statement from Al-Nassr read: ‘Due to heavy rain and weather conditions impacting the stadium’s electricity, we have been officially informed that tonight’s match against Al-Ta’ee is postponed for 24 hours.

‘We apologise for any inconvenience caused to fans and wish everyone safe travels.’

‘I had many opportunities in Europe and many clubs in Brazil, Australia, USA and even in Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me. But I gave my word to this club,’ Ronaldo said.
