Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo wore a hoodie made by the brand Azat Mard, a name that translates to “Free Man” in Armenian, during the meeting with the Vice President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed.

Ronaldo has been in Dubai for a few days and has been making the most of the warm weather with time spent on the beach and training at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex.

The Manchester United star was pictured in Sheikh Hamdan’s Instagram stories, along with his son Cristiano Junior.

Azat Mard positions itself as “a contemporary menswear brand specializing in luxury closing and outwear for the fashion-forward, powerful men.”

It was co-founded by Garen Tchobabanian and Neil Malhotra in 2018. Tchobanian previously played for the Armenian National Soccer team.

The name, Azat Mard, is from Armenia and translates to “Free Man.”

“Freedom and self-_expression_ are the driving forces behind the ethos of the brand, the Azat Mard man is a leader, he is forward-thinking and not afraid to stand up and stand out,” reads a post on the brand’s website.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
