Massive crowds gather outside Oslo's Ullevaal stadium hoping to spot Ronaldo

Following the arrival of Portugal's national football team at Gardermoen, a sizable crowd gathered outside Ullevaal stadium in Oslo, the country's main sports venue. The supporters, many of whom had also gathered outside the team's hotel in Nydalen, were eager to see Cristiano Ronaldo before the squad's scheduled training at 18:00 on the stadium's pitch. The frenzy, described as unprecedented for the venue, stems from a wave of enthusiasm that started Friday night when the 41-year-old forward landed in the capital.

Ronaldo has never played a match on Norwegian soil, having missed the 2010 visit due to injury and not featuring in previous friendly fixtures at Ullevaal. Portugal is set to play Norway in a Nations League match the next evening, with expectations that Ronaldo will feature in the game.
