The League of Saudi Arabia ‘Saudi Pro League’ It’s been reinforced a lot this summer with more stars. In one market, they removed the foundations of European football and ‘stole’ some of the most valued players from many greats. A clear vision to have a competitive league and one of the best five in the world for many years.
The plan, on the other hand, may have some ‘fissures’, and may be from the cultural shock of some of them, used to a European life that has nothing to do with what they live in Riyadh, Jeddah or even what city in Arab countries..
Because of that, The SPL started a campaign to recruit different people in the employer’s staff so that they can interact with the footballers and their adaptation will be easier.. Journalists, psychologists and various profiles with European roots help the stars of the new competition.
Benzema, Neymar, Gabri Veiga, Sadio Mané, Mahrez, Kante, Firmino, Ruben Neves, Brozovic, Kessie…More than 900 million were spent by clubs in Saudi Arabia, mostly distributed among the most important teams such as Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli and Al-Ettifaq.
In fact, the Saudi League ranks itself as second in the world in terms of spending, just behind the Premier League. Now, the next step is to try to make the players feel ‘at home’.
