Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes in the Thursday's final of the exhibition Riyadh Season Cup but couldn't prevent Al Halal winning 2-0 with goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Salem Al-Dawsari.
Ronaldo, who turned 39 on Monday, resumed training with his team this week and will captain Al Nassr in the friendly at the Kingdom Arena.
He last played for Al Nassr in a 4-1 league win at Al Taawon on Dec. 30.
