It's above the Conference League qualifiers today. Wonder how much they paid for that. The Saudi league is also on the list of BBC scores and fixtures now.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FIFA club world cup Yeah but they could have it in Saudi every year and frame it as the magnanimous Saudi titans are inviting the Champions League peasants to have the honour of playing them. Maybe they could chuck in Newcastle and the Europa League winner and have it as a round robin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FIFA club world cup its being expanded too, every 4 years 32 teams i think, it should IMO replace the confederation cup or whatever its called and be the pre WC tester tournament so id guess it'll be inaugurated in 2025 in the US, based on FM qualification comes from getting to the semi finals of the CL thats the competition that if its a huge success i can see saudi money pairing with fifa to try and make it an annual competition that challenges the CL, thats the only in for them that i see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 A huge crowd of 1024 attended the Al Hazm v Ettifaq game. To put that into context, here is the average crowds in the Vanarama South, the 6th tier of English football... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Saudis are massive football fans, it wasn't counting the 400k faqqers outside the ground, absolutely took over the King Abdullah Al-Aziz Education and Sporting Complex City Stadium, Big Ali polished off 15 rose waters before the game like it was nothing, all celebrated watching a beheading, no Hazmers in sight mate 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there was a scheduling conflict and the games were played at the same time as some public beheadings or some women being lashed at the square for liking the wrong Instagram posts? 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
