Almost a month later, Al Nassr and Nike confirmed a deal for the 2023-24 season, meaning it probably is a one-year deal. Of course, if the partnership is successful and Cristiano Ronaldo stays next season, Nike should renew the deal. However, Nike might return next season! And it only makes sense, as the Saudi market has become an increasingly important and popular one. Already know players as Anderson Talisca (former Besiktas player) and Odion Ighalo (ex-Manchester United player) for example, created the first wave of interest. But the the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo this season,
Karim Benzema and Ngoro Kant next season and certainly more players in the coming months, helps to increase the league’s quality, generating viewership and exposure and therefore money. The colors of Al-Nassr's kits are traditionally yellow and blue, with the home kit being predominantly yellow and the away kit being predominantly blue. The club has had a number of different kit manufacturers over the years, including Nike, New Balance, Victory and Dunes, the current kit manufacturer. And where there’s that type of growth, in a market where small manufacturers currently thrive, it opens a huge opportunity for big brands such as Nike, who already sponsor one team in the league.
