Not just boxing. Usik, in company with Figo and Ronaldo, opened a Football Museum in Saudi Arabia, football stars – a La Liga restaurant (video)

On Saturday, the Fury-Ngannou fight took place in Saudi Arabia, which gathered an incredible number of sports stars and became the main event of the opening ceremony of the Festival Season in Riyadh. But sports and party life in the capital of the Kingdom is only gaining momentum. Over the weekend, two iconic places for football fans were opened in Riyadh, with Fury and Ronaldo taking part in one of the ceremonies, and three large-scale sporting events will be held in the country in the near future. Actually, this is the Fury-Usyk fight, we keep our fingers crossed that it will take place, as well as tennis and football tournaments. But first things first.

Let’s start with the restaurant. This is the first establishment of its kind. The opening ceremony, like all similar events in Saudi Arabia, turned out to be pompous and solemn. The establishment was opened by world football stars – Ronaldo and Figo, but the restaurant itself looks pretentious and expensive.

The star Brazilian and Portuguese, as well as famous athletes who arrived at the Fury-Ngannou fight, including Alexander Usik, also took part in the opening of the Football Legends Sports Museum. The Ukrainian, apparently, was most interested in the World Championship medal won by the Argentina team at one time. It is noted that the Museum of Football Legends has collected more than 30,000 original exhibits, which makes it one of the largest in the world, if not the largest in the world by this indicator.

Alexander also attended the “profile” opening, becoming one of the guests of Mike Tyson’s boxing club, which, according to representatives of Saudi Arabia, should promote the development of boxing in the Kingdom.

As for sports competitions, as we wrote above, in addition to the Usyk-Fury fight, football and tennis tournaments are planned in Riyadh. The first, called the “Cup of the Season,” will feature the country’s two main capital clubs – Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr, as well as invited foreign teams. Players from the TOP-20 world rankings are planned to participate in the tennis Riyadh Cup.

And in Riyadh, a new sports museum is preparing to open. This time dedicated to one legendary football player. A Cristiano Ronaldo Museum will soon appear in Riyadh, which will become the second in the world, after a similar one in Madeira.
