SHAH ALAM - The Iranian Embassy in Madrid confirms Cristiano Ronaldo's heartwarming visit with a disabled fan, stating there are no legal issues.

The Iranian embassy also refuted allegations that Ronaldo was sentenced to 99 lashes for adultery.

In a statement, the Iranian Embassy in Spain said they strongly deny the issuance of any court ruling against any international athlete in Iran.

“It is a matter of concern that the publication of such unfounded news could overshadow crimes against humanity and war crimes against the oppressed Palestinian nation.

“It should be noted that Cristiano Ronaldo travelled to Iran on Sept 18 and Sept 19 to play in an official football match, which was very well received by the people and the authorities.

“His sincere and humane meeting with Fatemeh Hamami was also praised and admired by both the people and the country’s sports authorities,” the embassy said.

The said incident claimed to have taken place when Ronaldo travelled to Iran with his Saudi Pro League club last month to play against Persepolis in the AFC Champions League.

Before the game, Ronaldo met with Hamami in Tehran, where she presented him with two portraits. Hamami painted the portraits with her feet due to her paralysis.

During their meeting, Ronaldo hugged her and kissed her on the head.

His actions led to reports that lawyers had filed charges against Ronaldo for committing adultery. The law in Iran forbids affectionate gestures between a man and a woman who is not married.
