Ronaldo makes South Africa gaffe at Al Nassr unveiling

Cristiano Ronaldo, a football star, mistaken Saudi Arabia for South Africa and said the wrong thing during his formal unveiling with Al Nassr on Tuesday.

He left Manchester United on Friday and signed with Al Nassr as a free agent.

"Coming to South Africa is not the end of my career for me since the football is different there. This is why I want to change, and to be really honest, I truly don't care what people think "As he was introduced to the media at the club in Riyadh, Ronaldo spoke.

"I won everything," he continued, "and I played for the top clubs in Europe. Now it's a fresh challenge in Asia."
