Ronaldo's debut in Saudi Arabia was not without difficulty.

After the postponement of entering the field with the Al-Nassr shirt , another problem now arises. The Portuguese champion , according to the laws of the country, could not live with his partner Georgina Rodriguez . In fact, Saudi Arabia forbids unmarried couples from living under the same roof .

However, the celebrity of the couple could lead the government to turn a blind eye, and there is also a not insignificant detail: the two are foreign citizens for whom the authorities have already derogated from the law in the past.

According to some lawyers working in Arabia, "cohabitation without a marriage contract is prohibited, but no one has begun to be prosecuted , especially in the case of foreigners ". Even the partner of Rudi Garcia - Al-Nassr coach - Francesca Brienza , in a story on Instagram, reassured the couple: "Since 2019 , a program has been approved for the opening to tourism that allows unmarried couples on vacation in Saudi Arabia to share the same house ».
