Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo has acquired a 25% stake in Spanish club Almeria through his company CR7 Sports, the club said on Thursday (February 26).

Almeria, a Spanish second-tier club, was relegated from La Liga in the 2023–24 season and was then taken over by Saudi Arabia-based SMC Group in May 2025. Mohamed Al-Khereiji then took over as the club’s owner and president. However, SMC Group did not disclose the financial terms of Ronaldo’s deal.

“The agreement is part of the international expansion of the club driven by president Mohamed Al Kereiji through his business holding SMC Group,” Almeria said in a statement, according to Reuters.
