Flight tracking site FlightRadar24 reported that Ronaldo’s Gulfstream G650 took off from Riyadh on Monday night around 9 p.m. local time and landed in Spain overnight on Tuesday.

The Al-Nassr star departed after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) suspended eight matches in the Gulf region due to rising tensions. The Saudi Pro League team’s quarter-final against Al-Wasl, originally scheduled for Wednesday in Dubai, and was postponed.

AFC also announced that all Champions League Elite Round of 16 matches in the West region would be delayed because of security concerns.

The 41-year-old footballer had been living in Riyadh with his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their five children. His departure comes amid heightened conflict after Tehran launched missiles at U.S. bases in response to U.S.-Israeli strikes, which reportedly killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Spain, where Ronaldo’s jet landed, is one of the few European countries that openly condemned the U.S.-Israeli military actions and Iran’s response.

Ronaldo currently plays for Saudi club Al-Nassr, and his contract with the team runs until 2027.
