Al-Nassr Became the Most Popular Team in Asia
The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi football team Al-Nassr and the increase in the club’s followers broke Persepolis’ record in Asia, making this Saudi team the most popular team on the ancient continent.
One of the first impacts of Ronaldo’s presence in the Saudi club was the increase in the number of followers on Instagram and Twitter. Before signing with Ronaldo, Al-Nassr had less than 1 million followers on Instagram, but within a week, this number reached several million.
The number of Al-Nassr club followers on Instagram has reached 8.8 million. With this number of followers, Al-Nassr surpassed Iran’s Persepolis club, which had long been at the top of Asian clubs with 8.3 million followers.
