Chaos in Austria: Ronaldo’s Preseason Camp Turns into Security Nightmare

Cristiano Ronaldo faced significant disruption during Al Nassr's pre-season camp in Saalfelden, Austria, where fan chaos spiraled out of control, prompting him to threaten calling the police. Hundreds of fans reportedly swarmed the Brandelhof Hotel daily hoping to see Ronaldo, with many guests booking rooms solely for proximity to the star, turning the resort into a hotspot of chaos.

The situation escalated when a group of children staying at the hotel breached the private floor housing Ronaldo's suite and knocked on his door. A visibly angry Ronaldo opened the door and loudly threatened to call the police in response to the intrusion.

The chaos extended beyond the hotel, with the area around Al Nassr's training sessions becoming increasingly volatile. On Saturday, Sadio Mane's black Mercedes was forced to stop abruptly after fans rushed onto the road in slippery, rain-soaked conditions, nearly causing an accident.

Hotel staff admitted being unprepared for the level of fan access, with one security guard stating, "We weren't prepared when the children got upstairs." Some parents also expressed disappointment regarding the incident involving the children breaching security.
