Al Nassr Departs for India Aboard BeOnd Airline Ahead of AFC Clash with FC Goa

Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr has departed for India aboard a BeOnd Airline charter flight, en route to face FC Goa in the AFC Champions League Two fixture scheduled for October 22nd at the Fatorda Stadium.

The flight, operated by BeOnd, a premium leisure airline based in the Maldives departed from Riyadh on Monday evening, carrying the Al Nassr squad to Goa for their AFC Champions League Two fixture.

Despite widespread speculation and fan anticipation, Cristiano Ronaldo is not part of the traveling contingent. Al Nassr has opted to rest the Portuguese forward, citing internal scheduling priorities and previous travel constraints. His absence has been confirmed by club sources and reflected in the final squad list for the India leg.

The match is expected to draw significant local and regional attention, with enhanced security and hospitality arrangements underway in Goa.

Beond’s involvement in the transport of Al Nassr underscores its growing footprint in the Gulf and South Asian aviation corridors, particularly for bespoke charter operations involving elite clientele.
