Cristiano Ronaldo continues to receive recognition after a triumphant 2025/26 campaign with Al Nassr, being named to the Saudi Pro League Fantasy Team of the Season due to his standout displays during the quest for the national championship.

The information was released by the Saudi Pro League organizers on their official social media channels on June 4. The post read: “After 34 matchdays, the Saudi Pro League Fantasy Team of the Season for 2025/26 has been officially revealed.,” accompanied by an image of the 11 best players of the season.

As expected, Cristiano Ronaldo appears in the forward line of this team. He is joined by Al Ahli's Ivan Toney and Al-Taawoun's Roger Martinez. Additionally, CR7's teammate at Al Nassr, Joao Felix, was also selected after playing a key role in the club's championship-winning season.

What is Saudi Pro League Fantasy?

Saudi Pro League Fantasy is an online team management game for fans. Players are given a certain budget to build a squad consisting of players currently competing in the Saudi Pro League, while following rules such as not selecting more than three players from the same club.

Player scores are calculated based on their real-life performances in each match. The total points of the 11 selected players determine a player's results for each round as well as their overall ranking across the entire season.

In the 2025/26 season, Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the top scorers in Saudi Pro League Fantasy with 296 points, earning his place in the Team of the Season. The leader was Julian Quinones with 356 points, followed by Ivan Toney (319 points) and Joao Felix (311 points).

Ronaldo Honored Repeatedly

Making the Saudi Pro League Fantasy Team of the Season is just one of many individual accolades Ronaldo received this past season. Earlier, the Portugal national team captain was among the final five nominees for the Saudi Pro League Player of the Season award.

This award is voted on by captains, coaches, media, and fans. However, it was Joao Felix who ultimately won the prize.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo was voted by fans as the Most Popular Player of the Season, closing out a memorable year with Al Nassr. Notably, the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League title was also CR7's first team trophy since joining the club in January 2023.

At the age of 41, Ronaldo continues to maintain a strong influence both on the pitch and in media appeal, further solidifying his status as one of the most prominent stars in the Saudi Pro League.
