"It has been a longtime ambition of mine to contribute to football, beyond the pitch. UD Almeria is a Spanish club with strong foundations and clear potential for growth."
"We are very pleased that Cristiano has chosen our club to invest in. He knows the Spanish leagues very well and he understands the potential of what we are building here both in terms of the team and the academy."
"Ronaldo bought the stake in Almeria through his CR7 Sports Investments subsidiary. Almeria has been under the control of Saudi Arabian owners for more than six years."
Cristiano Ronaldo purchased a 25 percent share of UD Almeria, a Spanish second-division football club currently in third place. The acquisition was made through his CR7 Sports Investments subsidiary. Almeria has been under Saudi Arabian ownership for over six years, with Mohamed al-Khereiji becoming the new owner and president in 2025. Ronaldo, who moved to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Nassr in late 2022, stated that contributing to football beyond playing has been a longtime ambition. The club has strong foundations and clear growth potential. Almeria was relegated from La Liga in 2023-24. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
