Cristiano Ronaldo set to stay at Saudi club Al-Nassr as another World Cup looms closer
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly ended speculation about his club future, and said he would continue to play at Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr as he also probably sets his sights on next year's World Cup. 'Nothing is going to change. Playing at Al-Nassr? Yes,' he was quoted as saying early on Monday by several reports after captaining Portugal to the Nations League title in Munich. Ronaldo, 40, joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after falling out with coach Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. His current contract is until June 30. Fifa president Gianni Infantino had recently suggested that Ronaldo could move to a side qualified for the upcoming Club World Cup. Ronaldo on Saturday confirmed talks but said he would not be at the tournament in the United States. On Sunday, Portugal beat Spain 5-3 on penalties to give Ronaldo and his team a third trophy, the others being at Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League. Ronaldo and Portugal coach Roberto Martinez celebrate the Nations League win.

Sunil Chhetri answers India SOS, as coach questions Hong Kong passport rules
India head coach Manolo Marquez has questioned the rules allowing Hong Kong to select a host of naturalised players, a day before the two sides clash in a crucial Asian Cup qualifier. Overseas Citizens of India cardholders have been banned from representing the country since 2008, while players with dual-nationality cannot be chosen. Hong Kong's squad for Tuesday's game at Kai Tak Stadium includes eight players, including controversial striker Manuel Bleda, who qualified after completing seven years' residency. Spaniard Marquez, who is reportedly on the brink of quitting his post, evidently wanted to have his say on the subject, given the question about the large overseas-born contingent came from an All India Football Federation employee. 'If I was Hong Kong coach, maybe I would do similar,' Marquez said. 'In my opinion, the rules should be the same for everyone. I accept dual nationality, if your father or mother are from the country. 'Other countries can select players if they played in their [domestic] competition. For me, this is not very fair.'
