Iranian media outlets ‘Rouydad24’ and ‘Sharq Emroz’ recently spread a false claim that Cristiano Ronaldo could face 99 lashes for adultery in Iran. However, the Iranian embassy in Madrid has confirmed that this news is entirely fabricated.
The embassy took to social media to release a statement expressing its disappointment in having to address such baseless allegations. They strongly deny the existence of any sentencing against international athletes in Iran.

The statement further adds, “The publication of such unfounded news is concerning as it can divert attention from actual crimes against humanity and war crimes, particularly those committed against the oppressed Palestinian nation.”
It is important to note that Cristiano Ronaldo visited Iran on September 18 and 19 to participate in an official soccer match. He received a warm welcome from both the people and the authorities during his stay. His sincere and compassionate meeting with Fatemeh Hamami, a renowned painter, received great admiration from the nation’s sports authorities and the general public.

The false reports claimed that the Iranian judiciary imposed this sentence on the 38-year-old Portuguese Al-Nassr star, who is romantically involved with Georgina Rodriguez. These claims were based on his interaction with painter Fatemeh Hamami during his visit. Ronaldo had gifted her a signed jersey and expressed his gratitude for her artwork created using her feet.
The fabricated allegations stated that several Iranian lawyers had filed charges against Ronaldo for his actions, suggesting that touching an unmarried woman in Iran is equivalent to adultery under Iranian law.
