February 5, 2026, marks a historic moment in world football as Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates his 41st birthday, further cementing his status as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
At an age when most football legends have long retired, the Portuguese superstar continues to defy expectations. Ronaldo remains an active professional footballer with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League and is still part of the Portugal national team, proving that age has done little to slow his relentless drive.
Fans across the globe have expressed admiration for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, celebrating his decision to continue playing at the highest level despite being in the final years of his illustrious career.
With several Saudi Pro League fixtures still ahead and preparations underway for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ronaldo continues to balance elite competition with family life.
Videos from his birthday celebration have gone viral online, showing the football icon in high spirits as he marked the occasion with close family members, including his mother and fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez, in Saudi Arabia.
In one widely shared clip, Ronaldo is seen dancing joyfully around his birthday cake while a live band plays “Happy Birthday.”
The cheerful scenes delighted fans, especially amid recent reports suggesting the forward had grown frustrated with Al Nassr’s management under the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Ronaldo was notably absent from the club’s previous Saudi Pro League match, with reports claiming his frustration stemmed from PIF allowing rivals Al Hilal to sign Karim Benzema.
However, Ronaldo returned to training with Al Nassr on Wednesday ahead of their upcoming clash against Al Ittihad, sparking optimism among supporters that he could feature in Friday’s match.
Despite this, reports indicate that a final decision on his availability is yet to be confirmed.
