In general, their steps are correct in boosting their football popularity by bringing in star players in the league, but I have not seen what their next steps are like. one of them is youth development to be their future capital. I do not know how far they have developed youth development, what I know now is that they have national team players who mostly do not even get a place in the club. Of course this is a problem that they must quickly resolve and one of them is youth development which is a very important foundation for the development of football in a country.
Massive investment is being directed into the youth system in Saudi Arabia for the last few years. Four years back, Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF) established the Mahd Sports Academy to train young players in various sports including football. I understand this is one of the largest of its kind in the world. And as a part of modernization, the SAFF launched a women's league in 2020. The country's population is very young, and this gives them an advantage as well. In short, I would say that football in Saudi Arabia is moving in the right direction, and the future looks bright.
