Cristiano Ronaldo’s club Al-Nassr have been drawn in the same group as Indian football side FC Goa in the AFC Champions League Two, raising excitement about the football star possibly coming to India.

Group D includes Al-Nassr, FC Goa, Al Zawraa, and FC Istiklol. Earlier, there was hope that Mohun Bagan Super Giant could host Al-Nassr, but now the confirmed draw brings FC Goa into the spotlight.

However, there is a rumoured clause in Ronaldo’s contract stating he may not play in away games in the AFC Champions League Two. This could affect the chances of him playing in India, as the clause is meant to manage his travel and game time. If true, fans in Goa—who even built a statue of Ronaldo—may miss the chance to see him live.

India has hosted football legends in the past. Brazilian star Pele played a friendly against Mohun Bagan, Diego Maradona visited Kolkata in 1986, and Lionel Messi played in Kolkata in 2012. Fans now hope Ronaldo will follow in their footsteps.

Nepali football fans may also get a chance to watch him closely if they travel to India during the matches.
