Cristiano Ronaldo was not registered by Al-Nassr for his debut on Thursday.
This is due to the club’s squad having more non-Saudi Arabian players than allowed.
Ronaldo made his public debut earlier this week after agreeing to a £ 175 million contract.
Al-Nassr was supposed to play Al-Ta’ee, however the match was postponed due to severe rain in Riyadh.
In addition, Ronaldo is presently serving a two-game suspension from the Football Association for knocking a young Everton supporter’s cellphone out of his hands in April of last year.
Due to the need to rearrange their roster to make room for the 37-year-old, he may now have a lengthy wait before making his debut for his new team.
Al-Nassr presently has eight foreign players on their roster, which is the maximum permitted per Saudi league regulations.
