Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo Rivalry Could be Rekindled in Saudi Arabia Tournament

News 18  

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could resume their longstanding rivalry in a tournament being staged in Saudi Arabia in February. Organizers of the Riyadh Season Cup said Tuesday that Messi’s Inter Miami is expected to play in the three-team event. “We look forward to welcoming everyone from Inter Miami in February for the Riyadh Season Cup, which will bring together a number of the biggest international stars from across all three clubs competing,” said Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority. “We look forward to showcasing our players on Inter Miami CF’s first international tour which will be announced in the coming weeks.” Saudi Arabia has made a major push to be a big player in world soccer by signing some of the game’s biggest players amid allegations of sportswashing. Inter Miami sporting director Chris Henderson said Monday that nothing had been finalized or was ready to be announced about the team’s preseason plans.
