So Many Singaporean Things For Cristiano Ronaldo To Do Now
Yesterday (29 June), our favourite Singaporean Peter Lim was announced to have acquired the image rights of Cristiano Ronaldo for six years, till 2021.
Ronaldo’s image rights will be managed by Mint Media, a company owned by Mr Lim.
In the deal, Mr Lim will own and administer all of the Ronaldo’s image rights except for those in relation to his club, Real Madrid.
With Ronaldo’s growing global popularity and Mr Lim’s apt networking and entrepreneurship skills, the deal is set to provide further exposure and growth for the Ronaldo brand name in Asia.
Which means we can now probably expect to see Ronaldo doing more Singaporean things.
We list out 8 things that the 3-time FIFA World Player of the Year could now do in Singapore, now that Peter Lim has acquired his image rights.
1. Play For The Singapore National Team
Cristiano Ronaldo playing for the Singapore national team?
That is practically a dream come true for every Singaporean football fan.
Unfortunately, the image of Ronaldo wearing the red of Singapore and slotting the ball past Malaysian keeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat will just remain a dream.
Portugal (Ronaldo’s home country) is ranked 7th place in the FIFA World Ranking,
Considering his workout routine of 3-4 hours of training, several periods of running with varying intensities, and 3000 sit-ups all in a day to get that toned body, he probably won’t want to destroy it on CARBS, much less endorsing CARBS.
Our local brand, Axe Oil Brand seems like a perfect product for a footballer who experiences an insane number of ridiculous rough challenges throughout his career.
However, Ronaldo will probably say “no thanks” to any offer to promote the SMRT, especially with the countless number of times that SMRT have broken down.
Fun Fact: Cristiano Ronaldo could have been a professional ping-pong player.
In fact, Ronaldo was so talented in table tennis, coaches tried to poach him from the football youth team in his youth.
After football, ping pong is my favorite sport.
I began to feel a fascination for table tennis as a child because it is a very popular sport in Madeira, where there are several nationally competitive clubs.
I started playing as a boy in my neighborhood and at school.When I moved to the school of Sporting, I kept playing ping pong.

Move aside, Feng Tianwei and Gao Ning; Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to take your place.
8. Eat Lots Of Good Food!
CR7 seems to be a pretty adventurous eater.
It was reported that Ronaldo is a fan of spicy food. Ronaldo was a regular at an Indian restaurant in Manchester. He ate at the restaurant so often that the owner named a dish after him — The Ronaldo Rogan Josh.
There is definitely no lack of food for Ronaldo to savour in Singapore.
