The special jersey features the word "GOAT" and the number "900" written on the back.
Ronaldo received the gift before he kicked off Al Nassr's match against Al Ahli on Friday. There was also a tifo carrying messages like "900 goals" and "Only heroes achieve glory.”
Moreover, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner recently made headlines for breaking records by becoming the first individual to reach one billion followers on all social media handles.
Sharing his excitement, the Al Nassr captain announced his achievement on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Additionally, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner expressed gratitude in his post.
"From the streets of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I’ve always played for my family and for you, and now 1 billion of us stand together,” he added.
Ronaldo, 39, regarded his fans for all the achievements and victories in his successful career.

In the celebration, Ronaldo raised his hands to his face and dropped to his knees.
