Syrian boy Nabil Saeed had only hoped to see football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo play. The 10-year-old had expressed his desire to the Saudi Arabian rescue team who were in the country to help the earthquake victims.
The video clip gained widespread sympathy on social media and was noticed by Saudi authorities. Nabil's father was killed in the devastating earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria on February 6.
Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of General Entertainment Authority, shared the clip on Twitter and asked for Nabil's identity. He welcomed the boy and his mother to Saudi Arabia.
