The UEFA is so far ahead that no matter what they do in the Asian area, they won't close the gap at all for the next five decades. Only if a dozen states decide to take tons of money and pimp their national leagues. But they would still have to convince South American and European players to go there. It's not enough to get some almost retired players like Ronaldo and some money grabbers. They would need the next Messi, Mbappe, Modric, Zidane, Robben, Ribery, Maldini, Buffon etc. That's when people from all over the world would start watching those games on a regular basis. Now it was only short term hype because of Ronaldo.
Their Arab governments built a very good reputation for football in Arabia. They started by bringing in legendary players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, followed by Benzema, Neymar, Firminho and many more, even some Man City and Chelsea players and also Aston Villa. The point is that a lot of players have been brought in. And I think they do it for more than just popularity. But to provide experience and lessons to local players in Arabia so they are better able to compete with European players. And I see the development of the players getting better after the SPL brought in many European players.
And I hope everyone doesn't forget that many of the big clubs in Europe are also owned by Arab businessmen and rich Arab people. Let's take a look at how many clubs playing in the UCL currently are also owned by Arabs. It proves that if they intend to get more players to come then they can do it. Because there are clubs in the Premier League and La Liga that already belong to them. I am always amazed by the way they do business. And I think they also understand that the SPL will slowly progress and its reputation will continue to increase. Even though it takes time, they already know that. And currently hundreds of countries broadcast SPL. So I think the SPL can no longer be underestimated.
