Al Nassr vs Gamba Osaka Schedule: Cristiano Ronaldo's Chance to Win His First Asian Trophy

The highly anticipated match between Al Nassr and Gamba Osaka will take place at the Al Awwal Park Stadium, Riyadh, on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 00:30 WIB.

Al Nassr advanced to the final after defeating Qatar’s Al Ahli with a score of 5-1 in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Gamba Osaka, who will challenge Al Nassr, successfully defeated Thailand’s Bangkok United with an aggregate score of 3-1.

The opportunity seems within reach considering the match will be held at Al Awwal Park and, in terms of player composition, Al Nassr is far superior.

Despite the chance to win his first Asian trophy, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly not in Jorge Jesus’ plans for the starting lineup. Jesus is said to be resting several key players on the bench, considering their busy schedule.

According to Saudi media Al Riyadiyah, Jorge Jesus has prepared several players to be in the starting lineup against Gamba Osaka, including Abdullah Al Hamdan.

However, Al Nassr striker Joao Felix remains optimistic, confident that Al Nassr can achieve the best possible result in this match.

“This will be a difficult match, and we will face a team that plays well, especially in midfield.”

“We will work hard to win the remaining two matches this season to secure the championship title,” he said, quoted from Al Riyyadiyah.

According to him, the biggest problem at the moment is the hot weather, which he says is quite difficult to deal with.
