Cristiano Ronaldo’s son is anticipated to join the Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia after his father.
The 12-year-old Cristiano Jr. has travelled around a lot with his father in the past, joining Juventus and Manchester United before spending a brief period with Real Madrid earlier this year after the senior Ronaldo left Old Trafford.
But as of right now, Goal reports that Cristiano Jr. will be traveling to Saudi Arabia to attend the Mahd Sports Academy, which was established just two years ago with the goal of becoming “one of the top sporting schools throughout the world.”

The Mahd Academy’s work has previously received praise from Frederico Varandas, president of Ronaldo’s boyhood side.
“Sporting Lisbon has seen the rise of icons like Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo among others, but in reality we are not just a football club, rather we have more than 50 sports operating within our club that are supported with scouts and coaches roaming the nation in search of talented young players,” he said.
“Throughout our athletic history, we have developed the ability to recognize significant initiatives that can develop young potential, such as the one we are witnessing today with Mahd Sports Academy, and we anticipate working with you in the future.”
