Saudi Football Association has officially issued a decision regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's

Al-Hilal defeated Cristiano Ronaldos Al-Nassr in a thrilling Riyadh derby on April 18. The match featured a contentious incident involving Cristiano Ronaldo as he was seen grabbing his crotch in front of opposition fans.

His gesture was considered obscene by many and sparked a controversy.

The Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation recently delivered their ruling on the matter. Al-Nassr received a fine of 15,000 riyals from the SFA, a decision that cannot be appealed.

The fine was levied due to the delay in their players arrival on the pitch at the beginning of the second half. However, according to GOAL, the committee did not punish Cristiano Ronaldo for his alleged indecent gesture.

Interestingly, the committees decision not to penalize Ronaldo was based on their reliance on official television footage rather than clips circulating on social media platforms.

This has ignited further debate surrounding the committees methods and the role of technology in football officiating.
