How Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated New Year’s Eve 2025 in Dubai
Al-Nassr’s striker prepares for a promising 2025 campaign
Cristiano Ronaldo, the football legend, welcomed 2025 in unparalleled style aboard a luxury yacht in Dubai.
Accompanied by his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, and their children, Ronaldo enjoyed a glittering evening marked by the city’s breathtaking fireworks.
Dubai’s iconic skyline came alive as millions gathered to witness the New Year spectacle, and Ronaldo’s family had one of the best seats in the house.

The New Year’s Eve celebrations featured more than 190 dazzling fireworks displays across the city, with the Burj Khalifa’s pyrotechnic show drawing global attention. Ronaldo and his family watched the mesmerising event from a private yacht, ensuring they escaped the crowds while still soaking in the festive spirit.
Georgina took to Instagram to share moments from the evening, posting photos of the family with the caption, “For a 2025 full of light, love, and health for everyone.”
A busy season for Ronaldo
While the focus was on joy and celebration, Ronaldo’s brief break from football comes amid a crucial season for Al-Nassr. The team currently stands fourth in the Saudi Pro League, striving to secure a spot in the AFC Champions League Elite stage. The club’s performance in the upcoming matches will be pivotal, especially with Ronaldo leading the charge.
Despite the festivities, Ronaldo remains the centre of speculation regarding his future. His contract with Al-Nassr is set to expire in the summer, and the rumour mill suggests a potential move could be on the cards. Yet, for one night, it was all about celebrating with loved ones, leaving football concerns for another day.
Last week, Ronaldo was honoured at the 15th Globe Soccer Dubai Awards, where he received accolades for Best Middle East Player and Top Goal Scorer of All Time. These awards recognised his remarkable achievements with Al-Nassr, including an astounding 44 goals and 13 assists in 45 appearances during the 2023-24 season.
