Al-Nassr became the most popular team in Asia
The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian football team Al-Nassr and the increase in followers of this club 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 of this team 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 followers of the Al-Nassr club 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.
