Ronaldo's team turned the tables in an unbelievable way

From being certain not to participate in the AFC Champions League Elite, Al Nassr now has a wide open door to participate in this cup tournament next season.

The Saudi Arabian Centre for Arbitration for Sport has accepted Al Nassr's appeal over goalkeeper Rafi Al Ruwaili's 2-1 loss to Al Orobah in March.

Al Nassr was awarded the win and added 3 points, thereby rising to 3rd place in the Saudi Pro League with 70 points, only 2 points behind Al Hilal. At this time, the opportunity to participate in the AFC Champions League Elite opened up again for Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates.

In the final match, Al Nassr will take the 2nd place, if they win against Al Fateh, and Al Hilal loses or draws with Al Qadisiya - the club currently ranked 4th on the table. If they are equal on points, Al Nassr will be ranked above their city rivals thanks to a better head-to-head record.

The Saudi Pro League has three places in the AFC Champions League Elite, but one of them has already been taken by the reigning Asian champions, Al Ahli. Accordingly, only the domestic champions and runners-up will have tickets to the continent's most prestigious cup tournament.

Returning to the story between Al Naasr and Al Orobah in round 23, Al Nassr accused their opponent of registering Rafea Al Ruwaili, who is said to be a semi-professional goalkeeper, while the rules in the SPL since 2019 prohibit ineligible players from participating.

Al Nassr repeatedly appealed but to no avail. However, the efforts of the Riyadh capital team were rewarded when the Center for Arbitration for Sport accepted the appeal and ruled that Al Orobah had violated the regulations of the highest league in Saudi Arabia.
