Ronaldo Expands Football Footprint with Major Investment in Spanish Club

Cristiano Ronaldo has taken a significant step into football ownership by purchasing a 25 percent stake in Spanish club UD Almería, marking one of the most high-profile moves of his business career. The deal was completed through his company CR7 Sports Investments, joining him to the group that now steers the club’s direction.

The veteran forward described the investment as part of his ambition to contribute to the sport off the pitch, saying he sees strong foundations and growth potential at Almería and is looking forward to working with the leadership team to support the club’s next chapter.
