Even though Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, I personally also think it is absolutely impossible to move the center of world football to Saudi Arabia. Because as we know, currently Europe is the mecca of world football. Because there are lots of soccer players who want to play in the clubs there. So this means that Europe is clearly the destination for world footballers. Therefore, it will definitely be very difficult for Saudi Arabia to move the direction of football from Europe to Saudi Arabia. Because apart from the factors that you and I have mentioned. The strongest factor is that a lot of history has been created in Europe regarding the world of football. Because as we know, many great players were born in Europe, who often became champions in world football championships also from European countries. So with this, it is certain that the attraction of football will remain focused on Europe. Even if Saudi Arabia spends as much money as possible, I am sure it will never be enough to make Saudi Arabia a football mecca.
In fact, in my personal opinion, in 100 years' time, I personally doubt that Saudi Arabia will become the mecca of world football. That's why I think the Saudi Arabian league is better off continuing to make the quality of the league even better. So that we can compete well with the top leagues in the world. Because currently, the Saudi Arabian league cannot be said to be comparable to the world's top leagues.
I think Saudi is also realistic about the investment steps they are taking in developing football, they are not competing to be number one in the world, but they want to make the Saudi Pro League one of the many top leagues in the world, especially in the Asian region. It is very excessive if Saudi is ambitious to become the mecca of world football, I agree that it is a little impossible even though they have abundant finances. Saudi seriousness in building its domestic football can be seen from the long-term plans they have set, one of which is to host the 20234 World Cup.
If Saudi Arabia wants to make its football league the preeminent one in Asia, that makes more sense. Because if we talk about Asia, the Saudi Arabian League does have quite strong prestige. Because currently, as far as I know, the Saudi Arabian League is the number one best football league in Asia. So actually before Ronaldo and other top European players joined the Saudi Arabian League, at that time the Saudi Arabian League was already the best league in the Asian region. However, perhaps the popularity of the Saudi Arabian league is still not known to many people, so by bringing in well-known players this is the way the Saudi Arabian league is doing to make its league popular in the world. I think currently the Saudi Arabian League is quite popular since many European players are coming to the teams in the Saudi Arabian League. But it seems that the Saudi Arabian league is not satisfied with its current achievements, which is why Saudi Arabia plans to host the World Cup in 2034. This is certainly a quite appropriate step to make the football league in Saudi Arabia more well known to many people. But in my personal opinion, apart from pursuing popularity, the quality of the players in the Saudi Arabian league must also be improved. So with this, I think it will be better. So the point is that the Saudi Arabian League must be able to produce new football stars, that way I am sure the Saudi Arabian League will attract more and more world attention.
