The Saudi effort to gain control over global football

Reported 4 months ago

The Saudi Pro League, backed by the Saudi football authorities and sovereign wealth fund, has embarked on a plan to transform football in the kingdom and challenge the global balance of power by acquiring top clubs and star players with the goal of becoming the number one league in the world. The league has made significant investments in big-name players like Neymar, Benzema, and Salah, attracting foreign talent to Saudi Arabia. However, questions remain about the league's ambitions, financial sustainability, and the potential impact on global football dynamics amidst concerns about human rights issues and the concept of "sportswashing" by the Saudi regime.
