Portuguese football iconCristiano Ronaldohas taken a significant step into football ownership by acquiring a25 % stake in UD Almería, a club competing inSpain’s Segunda División (second tier). The deal was completed through Ronaldo’s investment arm,CR7 Sports Investments, and represents one of the most high‑profile player‑to‑owner transitions in modern football.
Almería, based in the Andalusia region of Spain, were relegated fromLa Ligaafter the 2023‑24 season and are currently pushing for a return to the top flight, sitting third in the second division. The club has been majority‑owned by theSaudi‑based SMC Groupsince 2025, with presidentMohamed Al‑Khereijileading the group’s football ambitions. Ronaldo’s investment is seen as part of Almería’s strategy to attract more global attention and boost its growth trajectory — both on the pitch and off it.
At41 years oldand still playing professionally for Saudi clubAl‑Nassr, Ronaldo said the investment aligns with his long‑held desire to contribute to football beyond his playing days: “It has been a long‑time ambition of mine to contribute to football, beyond the pitch. UD Almería is a club with a strong foundation and clear potential for growth.” The details of the financial terms were not disclosed, but the move underscores Ronaldo’s expanding off‑field footprint in the football world.
For Almería, Ronaldo’s involvement isn’t just symbolic — his experience, insight into Spanish football and global profile offer valuable assets as they seek to challenge for promotion and build a competitive long‑term project. The partnership may also enhance youth development and commercial appeal, blending sporting ambition with strategic investment as Almería eyes a swift return to La Liga.
