Cristiano Ronaldo is capping off his historic World Cup career with a special artistic release. The football legend has teamed up with renowned Portuguese street artist Vhils (Alexandre Farto) and Saudi club Al-Nassr to launch a limited-edition run of 100 art prints titled “Knight of Najd,” giving fans a chance to own a piece of history, reports Hypebeast.

The trio's second collaborative project is presented in a "Mystery Box" format, with each box priced at €199. Inside every kit, buyers will find an art print measuring $20 \times 20\text{ cm}$ ($7.8 \times 7.8\text{ in}$), hand-signed by Vhils, capturing one of 100 key moments from Ronaldo’s career.
The twist? While each print is an independent artwork on its own, all 100 individual pieces combine to form one grand, unified portrait of the Portuguese forward.
Beyond the prints, the release includes a competition for fans. Buyers will be invited to answer the prompt: “How does Cristiano Ronaldo inspire you?”
A panel of judges from Vhilstudio and Al-Nassr will select the winners:
150 participants will receive original artwork from the Vhils x CR7 series;
10 winners will take home an official match jersey hand-autographed by Ronaldo;
100 runners-up will win a signed Al-Nassr No. 7 jersey.
This release follows the original “Knight of Najd” collaboration earlier this year, when Vhils carved a monumental portrait of Ronaldo directly into a concrete wall at Al-Nassr's training facility (House of Nassr), accenting it with gold leaf inlay.
For the artist, the partnership is a deeply personal full-circle moment: more than 15 years ago, a young Cristiano Ronaldo served as the subject for one of Vhils’ very first video art projects at the dawn of his career.
