First, a little context. The rapid development of Saudi football with crazy spending on players began in 2023 as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 program. Its goal is to diversify the economy, as at the moment the country is fully reliant on oil sales. And football is one of the important pillars of this program.
Saudi Arabia has declared a goal to get 100 of the best foreign players in their league within the next five years. This information was published by Sky Sports. And we must admit, they started very well.
If you look at TransferMarkt, at the time of creating this video, there are 24 players in the Saudi Pro League worth 10 million euros or more. 23 of them moved here in 2023. Not bad.
