The annual Riyadh Season Cup is a part of the state-funded entertainment and sports festival that takes place in Saudi Arabia. Starting in 2019, the Riyadh Season features a variety of sports. The Riyadh Season Cup is technically a pentagon-shaped shield, however, each team will play each other in a league system with the winner being the side with the highest point total.
The match between Ronaldo and Messi, entitled “The Last Dance,” is scheduled to occur at the Kingdom Arena. While Messi’s Inter Miami will play the tournament as one of their final preseason games before the 2024 Major League Soccer season, Al Hilal and Al Nassr will play it during the Saudi Pro League season.
Even though it’s just a glorified friendly tournament, this year’s edition will pit Ronaldo and Messi against each other, much like it did in 2023 when Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain travelled to Saudi Arabia to play the Saudi All-Stars XI, which was led by Ronaldo.
