SOCCER

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has signed for Al Nassr in a deal that will reportedly make him history’s highest-paid footballer. The Portugal captain was a free agent when he arrived at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and has now agreed to join the club on a mega deal until at least 2025.

Brazilian soccer legend Pele, one of the eminent faces of the biggest game in the world, is the reason soccer is known as “The Beautiful Game.” He lived that out on the pitch, as a player who always demonstrated good sportsmanship and leadership.

Pele’s death was announced by his agent to the Associated Press on December 29, 2022. As Brazil chased 2022 FIFA World Cup glory in Qatar, their biggest ever star’s health had caused worldwide concern.

Cristiano Ronaldo is out at Manchester United in a bitter end to his second spell with the Red Devils following his controversial decision to criticise the club ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but that wasn’t good enough to become the No. 1 team on the planet based on the latest rankings updated Thursday, December 22.
